[Chimera-users] Suggestion - autofilter history by typed substring?

[Eric Pettersen]

I also just tweaked the up/down history navigation so that if the navigation would produce a result identical to whatever is currently in the command line, it “keeps going” until it yields a results that isn’t identical.  This applies to both normal up/down and shifted up/down.  So, if you have several consecutive identical entries in your command history, this effectively treats them as one entry and therefore may reduce the need for a preference to not record consecutive identical entries in the command history…

If you use the shift key while navigating the command history (i.e. shift up/down arrow or control-N/P), then it will jump to the next history entry that matches the current command name.  Available in the next daily build.
