How to reverse-i-search back and forth? [duplicate]
There is a similar question here:
Control-r reverse-i-search in bash: how do you "reset" the search in Cygwin?
Found another similar question on Super User:
Apparently, both mention Ctrl+s, which may do the trick.
Hope that helps. I myself am trying to find a piece of code that does the reverse-i-search in order to check how it has been implemented exactly.
CTRL + S
...solved it for me AFTER using...
stty -ixonIf CTRL+S doesn't work for you is because according to Vincenzo Pii's accepted answer in another related thread:
The problem is that this binding, in many terminals, is used by default to send the pause transmission code (
XOF).As in
man stty:[-]ixon enable XON/XOFF flow controlSo, if you have this option enabled on your terminal (the output of
stty -acontainsixonwithouth the-sign in front), you cannot use CTRL+S in the context of reverse-i-search.To disable it, use the following command:
stty -ixonAnd CTRL+S will give you a
(i-search)(non reverse).
