=pod =head1 NAME rl_history_search.pl =head1 DESCRIPTION Search within your typed history as you type (something like ctrl-R in bash or other readline-type applications.) =head1 INSTALLATION Copy into your F<~/.irssi/scripts/> directory and load with C>. This script requires that you have first installed and loaded F Uberprompt can be downloaded from: L and follow the instructions at the top of that file or its README for installation. If uberprompt.pl is available, but not loaded, this script will make one attempt to load it before giving up. This eliminates the need to precisely arrange the startup order of your scripts. =head1 SETUP C Where C<^R> is a key of your choice. =head1 USAGE Type C followed by your search string. The prompt line will show you the most recent command to match the string you've typed. B You can cycle through multiple matches with C (to select older matches), and (to select newer matches). Cycling off the end of the history list returns you to the other end again. B C may not work if you have software flow control configured for your terminal. It may appear to freeze irssi entirely. If this happens, it can be restored with C, but you will be unable to use the C binding. You can disable flow control by running the command C in your terminal, or setting C in your F<~/.screenrc>if using GNU Screen. =head2 COMMANDS =over 4 =item * C Selects a match and terminates search mode. B =item * C Exits search mode without selecting. =item * CTABE> Opens a new split window, showing all matching completions. CEscE> will close the window again, as will any other action that exits history search mode. Possible candidates can be cycled through as normal using C and C<. =item * Any other ctrl- or meta- key This will terminate search mode, leaving the selected item in the input line. It will not run the command (Except for C and C, which are functionally equivalent to C). =back =head1 AUTHORS Original script L Copyright E 2007 Wouter Coekaerts Ccoekie@irssi.orgE> Most of the other fancy stuff Copyright E 2011 Tom Feist Cshabble+irssi@metavore.orgE> =head1 LICENCE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
