Re: PS1 \# doesn't take into account HISTIGNORE and HISTCONTROL

[Carlos Morata]

Hi,

I think you misunderstod me.
I'm really interested in working with relative command history expasions.
So I need to work with !-$((\#-cmdnumbertarget)), not with !$HISTCMD.

I figure it out pretty well already but I think this is a bug cause you 
loose all the relative history expansions when you hit HISTCONTROL or 
HISTIGNORE and that doesn't get well with the principle of least surprise.

I prefer to enter just "!-3:2" than "!4563:2", cause I think is way more 
intuitive.


Cheers
