Default page up/down to select commands out of bash_history

Hello,

in SuSE Linux terminal you can start typing a command and if you
press the page up key, the terminal will complete your command with one
out of bash_history.
Now I have to use fedora and so I want for this terminal feature. Does
anybody know, how I can enable this and make my terminal much more
comfortable?

Thank you for your answers.

Daniel

For Bash's Emacs editing mode (some of these regardless of mode)

^R search backward (Ctrl-r)

Repeat to find next match.

Re-searches automatically if you add to the search string.

Backspace or Esc to edit it, Enter to run it.


^N next line (of history file)

^P previous line

Esc < first line (or Ctrl-[ <)

Esc > last line
