That's true. Itried "stty raw". Then I can get
(i-search)`':
but it does not accept any key entry.
My another solution is to define ~/.inpurtc as:
M-s: forward-search-history
M-r: reverse-search-history
This makes Alt-R and original Ctrl-R to initiate reverse-search-history
but Alt-S initiate forward-search-history menu but it does not work:
(i-search)`':
is displayed after Alt-S in normal console but it does not accept any
key entry.
Looks like bug in READLINE.
(I guess nobody in same mind botherd Ctrl-S for incremental search.
I was happy with Ctrl-R anyway ...)
