And maybe also put these lines in your ~/.inputrc file: set keymap emacs-meta p: history-search-backward n: history-search-forward Now start new shell (or actually any program that uses Readline library) and type "ls" (or something) in command line and then with keys Meta-p and Meta-n you can browse all commands that start with those characters. This assumes editing-mode "emacs" (which is the default). Meta key is Esc and usually Alt too.
