;;; Commentary:

;; Eshell's history facility imitates the syntax used by bash
;; ([(bash)History Interaction]).  Thus:
;;
;;   !ls           ; repeat the last command beginning with 'ls'
;;   !?ls          ; repeat the last command containing ls
;;   echo !ls:2    ; echo the second arg of the last 'ls' command
;;   !ls<tab>      ; complete against all possible words in this
;;                 ; position, by looking at the history list
;;   !ls<C-c SPC>  ; expand any matching history input at point
;;
;; Also, most of `comint-mode's keybindings are accepted:
;;
;;   M-r     ; search backward for a previous command by regexp
;;   M-s     ; search forward for a previous command by regexp
;;   M-p     ; access the last command entered, repeatable
;;   M-n     ; access the first command entered, repeatable
;;
;;   C-c M-r ; using current input, find a matching command thus, with
;;           ; 'ls' as the current input, it will go back to the same
;;           ; command that '!ls' would have selected
;;   C-c M-s ; same, but in reverse order
;;
;; Note that some of these keybindings are only available if the
;; `eshell-rebind' is not in use, in which case M-p does what C-c M-r
;; normally would do, and C-p is used instead of M-p.  It may seem
;; confusing, but the intention is to make the most useful
;; functionality the most easily accessible.  If `eshell-rebind' is
;; not being used, history navigation will use comint's keybindings;
;; if it is, history navigation tries to use similar keybindings to
;; bash.  This is all configurable, of course.
