^R to quickly move cursor by typing first few letter. #328

Closed faxotherapy closed 1 year ago

faxotherapy commented 1 year ago

Hi, before installing mcfly, I could quickly move my cursor by typing ctrl + R and the first few letters of, for example, a command argument so that I could quickly modify that specific option. After installing mcfly, I have to use the alt key with arrows key to travel to a specific string of the command line, which is somewhat a downgrade. Is it possible to use mcfly while still keeping the original functionalities brought by ctrl + R. What is now left to quickly move the cursor is the forward cursor move using ctrl + S key. Thank you.

You can't currently change mcfly's key bindings using environment variables, but you could put the output of mcfly init bash or mcfly init zsh into a file, modify that, and then eval it on statup.

ah, indeed. Thanks for the tip.
