How can I cycle through matching command lines in the command history? about clink HOT 4 CLOSED

I understood that. But what do you have in mind for

• how it should come up with a list of suggestions to choose from
• how many to come up with (they can be expensive to come up with, and turning it into a list will create a lot of complexity and confusion)
• how you expect to choose from them
• etc

That's not how they're meant to work. See Auto-suggest.

I will try to predict what you're really trying to get at:

• I think you really mean you want history suggestions, specifically, not suggestions in general (there are many sources/criteria for suggestions, and it's configurable, and it isn't limited to history).
• I think you want a way to cycle through previous/next history entries that match what you've typed so far (auto-suggest can show the first match, when it decides that history is the best source from which to offer a suggestion).
• I think you might be looking for PgUp / PgDn.

Please describe more about what you have in mind.

Hi Chris, I mean Clink shows one suggestion only. And there is no any keyboard shortcut or possibility to choose another one.

Of course I can press Ctrl+R and search in history. But it is not convenient.

Thanks Chris. PgUp and PgDn is exactly what I was looking for. 🤩
