I think he means ctrl-r.
I've never heard anyone call auto-complete "pageup." Where'd you learn that? I googled it, and it's all hiring platforms. I'm curious.
it's actually called history-search-backward . it's configured in /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc . if you type the first few characters of a command in your shells history, then type page-up (that key on the keyboard; if configured for page-up, which is common), it searches the most recent command that started that way. press again for the second recent. i'm using it so much, i got used to the thought process "i type this often -> lets stop typing and use page-up". of course it can't work with passwords 😅 i should pay more attention to what i'm doing
I'm more of a control-R kinda guy
fzf with ^R✨
Oooooh. Thank you for the explanation.
