"\e[A": history-substring-search-backward
"\e[B": history-substring-search-forward
Which accomplishes the same thing, except if you start typing a command first and THEN hit up, it FILTERS your history to only include those commands that start with the same text as you typed. Example:
If my history reads:
echo "hello"
echo "world"
ls -la
lsof
...and I type ec at my prompt, then hit the up arrow, it will only cycle through...
echo "hello"
echo "world"
...likewise, if I typed ls at my prompt and hit up arrow...
ls -la
lsof
