2.2 Matlab Like Bash

First of all, make sure you are under the HOME directory, and then create a hidden file named .inputrc.

Then, we modify the file .inputrc by vim.

# Matlab like Bash history
"\e[B": history-search-forward
"\e[A": history-search-backward

# Include system wide settings which are ignored
# by default if one has its own .inputrc
$include /etc/inputrc

Afterwards, we added the following snippet of code at the end of file .bashrc.

# Load inputrc
export INPUTRC=~/.inputrc

# Ignore multiple entries of the same command in history
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

Finally, we will be able to have Matlab like Bash. That is to say: if we type in ls , and then press ↑ or ↓, we will be able to see all ls commands ONLY, regardless of all other previous commands.
