bind '"&#92;e[A"':history-search-backward # first words of a command + up arrows
bind '"&#92;e[B"':history-search-forward #write first letters of command and then control-W to grep the history
bind '"&#92;C-w"':"&#92;"&#92;C-k&#92;C-ahistory | grep '^ <em>[0-9]</em> *&#92;C-e.'&#92;C-m&#92;""

Start writing a command line and press up and down to find a similar one in history.

I use it quite often for my regular sshs, cd’s to often-used directories, etc.
