How to perform search in gnome terminal?
|
|
|
Hi.
I have Debian Sarge 3.1 r2, with Gnome.
It seems that the gnome terminal does not support
word search? It looks strange to me, 'cause it's
an important function: I couldn't find any item
that would do that.
Any hint?
Thanks,
Rodolfo

What do you mean with "word search"?

Search for a word or an expression in the whole terminal `history'.
This is very useful, almost indispensable in some cases.
I used to use that quite often with KDE graphical environment,
before switching to Gnome.

Assuming you are using bash, you can use Ctrl-R to search back through
your command history.

Use the 'screen' program. It divides your terminal into multiple screens
that support session logging, cut and paste and history searching.

I suppose the OP wants to search the output history. But except from
using screen I have no solution either.

I hate myself but have no clear idea why.

Emacs. M-x shell. |
Run C-h t to get a tutorial, including terminology and key-bindings.
(apologies for having sent this to Jochen and not the list on my first try)
