Hi -
In tcsh, when I put the following lines in my .tcshrc:
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
The effect is that when I type one or more characters and press up-arrow,
tcsh attempts to match commands in my command history to the characters I
have typed.
Is there a way to do this in zsh?
yes
Do I need to write a completion function?
no
Just use the same commands as you used in tcsh, but drop the -k and
you have to write the literal code for "up" and "down", ie something
like ^[[A and ^[[B.
