I have this snippet in my .bashrc that binds the up and down keys to
search for the commands starting with the characters that you type in, so
if you type "ls" and press the up key, it will bring up the last command
that started with ls
if [[ $- == *i* ]]
then
bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'
