History

History is provided for Ex commands and Vi searches. It is especially useful to fix those small typos that screw up searches and :s//. At the : or /, you can do

C-p C-n

To move to previous and next history items. This causes the history items to appear on the command line, where you can edit them, or simply type Return to execute.

C-r C-s

To search backward and forward through the history.

C-t C-l

To go to the top and bottom of the history.

C-o

To display the history in a buffer

RET

Simple RET to return the current history item. The current history item is displayed in brackets.

History is provided using the `gmhist' package. History is not turned on by default. You have to explicitly call

(vip-get-history)

in your .emacs file.

In normal use, a few C-p an C-n strokes suffice. For further details, refer to the `gmhist' package in the distribution.
