Shellhop adds incremental search of your command line to bash and zsh. It's similar to Ctrl-S and Ctrl-R, but it searches only within the current line and highlights all matches.
Build shellhop:
git clone git://github.com/rlane/shellhop
cd shellhop
make
Add this to your bashrc:
eval $(/path/to/shellhop --bash)
You can change the keybinding (default Ctrl-X Ctrl-F) with the
--key option:
eval $(/path/to/shellhop --bash --key \\C-S)
Zsh is also supported:
eval $(/path/to/shellhop --zsh)
When editing a command line, type Ctrl-X Ctrl-F. You'll see a
(shellhop) prompt followed by the line. Start typing the text at the location
you wish to move the cursor to. Matches will be highlighted as you type. When
there is a unique match, hit Enter to accept it. Shellhop will exit
and leave the cursor in the desired position.
Use Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P to cycle between multiple matches. The current match will be highlighted and the others underlined.
