I just had an idea on the subject:tlchost wrote:It is a super idea....and if it were two-sided, the font size might be increased to allow folks with senior eye sight to enjoy it.ICPUG wrote:That's a nice idea Aragon. I suspect it will expand to 2 sides before long!

The HTML version seems to do it right. It is nice and compact and the web browsers I checked it on liked it just fine. Changing the font size up and down scaled everything as it should.aragon wrote:i've uploaded a basic-formatted html-version to the first post. if it does work as you've planned? test it!

The old Unix command was "!" followed by a letter or 2 of the command you wanted to recall.sunburnt wrote:The up arrow key goes back through the commands in rxvt or Xterm.
There`s no way to jump to a command that I know of...

Ah, and thanks to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash I finally know how to make Ctrl-S work to go forwards: run `stty -ixon`, which disables "job control". You can add it in your .bashrc or whatever.disciple wrote:I later found out:aragon wrote:am using it the other way round, first Ctrl+R then type part of the command. the limitation with the most recent command is here also.disciple wrote:Can anyone explain searching through the command history with Ctrl-R?

- press Ctrl-R with an empty command line
- type part of the command
- press Ctrl-R again to go to the previous match.
This is very useful; I use it constantly.
Try the tab key. It shows/expands matching commands or filenames (if not unique).wildirish wrote:This is great! I'm trying to learn to use the command line more, but so many of the things I find online or in books work in other distros, but not Puppy. If I see "Bad command or file name" one more time, I'll go postal, LOL!
Thank you for this--the HTML version is especially helpful, as it's the easiest to read, IMHO at least.
Code: Select all
type -a program-name
