Up to now, whith the up and down keys one can navigate between already typed commands. Imagine, I want to execute the command of 10 days before, for example:

[font=Courier]mount -o loop /path/to/image /path/to/mountpoint[/font]

In Matlab this is easy even when one has executed a lot of commands since then. One just has to begin to type the command and can then use the up/down keys to search the previous typed command which matches the already typed letters. For example when I didn't use the mount command since then but hundreds of others I just have to press

[font=Courier]mou[/font] and then the up key to get to my command of 10 days before.

this is not a konsole feature, but a bash/zsh one. And I'm pretty sure you can configure them for that. You can start by using ctrl-r to start a backwards search. But your specific request is _very_ likely possibly by configuring bash/zsh/...

Edit: looked it up:
try to add the following lines to your ~/.inputrc:
"e[A": history-search-backward ## up-arrow
"e[B": history-search-forward ## down-arrow

Thank you very much flo, this improves my modest work with bash considerably. I realized that this feature is already implemented using the page up/down keys.
So this thread can be marked already implemented.

I thought it has something to do with bash.
Moved to already implemented!
