Cygwin shortcut for command history

Question

How can I search the command history in cygwin?

I don\'t want to keep pressing the arrow keys to execute a command from console command history.

Answer 1

Do

vi ~/.inputrc

Add

For arrow up/down bindings:

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Or for page up/down bindings:

"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward

Close and open cygwin.

Voila.
