(This is all after doing "set -o vi")
In previous versions of bash, I could do the following keys: <Esc> / ^ foo
<Enter>
and it would find the most recent command that starts with foo. This is all as
expected.
However, in bash 5.0 beta (self-compiled), this doesn't work. It always leaves
the
cursor line empty (as if there was no matching history line). If I leave out
the ^,
then it works as expected (but, of course, matches the string anywhere, not
just at
the beginning of the line).
Incidentally, it occurs to me that I could just do: "fc foo" and it would do
pretty
much the same thing (match only at the beginning), but my fingers are used to
doing
it the other way.
