Re: Enhanced history-incremental-search

I'm a big fan of history-substring-search, which lets you type any portion of a command and just hit ↑ and scroll through the matches. No need for Ctrl+R keyboard combo, just arrow keys.

That was only bad choice of words. In a history with two million
lines it is pointless to search in cycles.
