Terminal history-search-backwards

Terminal's history-search-backwards appears broken in Leopard.
The following in .bash_profile in Tiger allowed a quick search in Terminal's history (i.e. 'ls' and up arrow listed all ls commands in the history)
bind '"\M-[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\M-[B": history-search-forward'
In Leopard, it no longer works for me. Can anyone confirm?
Tony

changing \M- to \e fixed it:
bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'

10.6 bash history-search-backwards

This is a repost from http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10954384
10.6 broke my terminal history search
In 10.4 I added
bind '"M-[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"M-[B": history-search-forward'
to my .bash_profile allowing me to use the up/down arrows to search through the history in terminal, but as of 10.6 this no longer works.
I would like the up and down arrows to perform a search of the history for the string I have typed in the terminal. That is if I had issued the following sequence of commands in the terminal,
$cd ~/
$nano .bash_profile
$vi .bash_profile
so now these commands are sequentially listed in my bash history. Now if I press the up arrow, the first command to come up will be the last one that I entered, that is, $vi .bash_profile. Now if I had instead pressed up three times, the command, $cd ~/ would come up. Now what I want bash to do, and had working in OS X 10.4, is if I type a string into the terminal (and DO NOT press ENTER) such as, $cd , then I press up, bash will search through the terminal history for the instances of the command cd that I have previously entered. This is the same behavior as the MATLAB command prompt.
I know this is possible because it used to work. I would like to have this behavior again because it is very useful. I do know that I can use crl-R to search the history, but this is kind of a pain to use and it doesn't work very well.
I added the above code to ~/.inputrc and now if I type the letter 'b' in terminal I get the output
{quote}
"": history-search-forward
{quote}
It only does this for the the letter 'b'. I have tried all the other keys and there is no weird output. What is up with bash?
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0)

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031026174236860 Mac OS X Hints 10.3: Assign arrow keys to history search in bash

I have the following in my .bashrc file:
# Setup Command line editing using vi mode (default is Emacs).
# Map Ctrl-P and Up-arrow as command recall (previous),
# with Ctrl-N and Down-arrow as next (foreword) command.
# Viewing key binding:
# bind -p | more # key bindings
# bind -s | more # macros (like below)
# bind -m vi-command -p | more # key bindings
# bind -m vi-command -s | more # macros (like below)
shopt -s -o vi # set vi command line editing.
bind '"C-p": "ekA"' # Ctrl-P: when in insert mode
bind -m vi-command '"C-p": "kA"' # Ctrl-P: when in insert mode
bind '"C-n": "ejA"' # Ctrl-N: when in command mode
bind -m vi-command '"C-n": "jA"' # Ctrl-N: when in command mode
# I have had problems with a Linux version of Bash 2.05.8(1) that did not
# like it when I remapped the up and down arrow keys, so if I find myself
# with that version of bash, I do not try to remap them.
# "cat -v" can be very useful for determing what the escape sequence being
# issued by an keypad or function key. Keep in minde that the keypad has
# multiple modes the terminal emulator can be placed in, which alters the
# escape sequence, hence the multiple sets of mapping for up and down arrow
# in both vi-insert and vi-command mode.
if [[ "$BASH_VERSION" != 2.05.8(1) || $OSTYPE = darwin ]]; then #{
bind '"M-OA": "ekA"' # Up-arrow: when in insert mode
bind -m vi-command '"M-OA": "kA"' # Up-arrow: when in insert mode
bind '"M-OB": "ejA"' # Down-arrow: when in command mode
bind -m vi-command '"M-OB": "jA"' # Down-arrow: when in command mode
bind '"M-[A": "ekA"' # Up-arrow: when in insert mode
bind -m vi-command '"M-[A": "kA"' # Up-arrow: when in insert mode
bind '"M-[B": "ejA"' # Down-arrow: when in command mode
bind -m vi-command '"M-[B": "jA"' # Down-arrow: when in command mode
fi #}
The above does work for me on ALL my platforms (Mac OS X, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard), Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Windows-Cygwin.
I use vi command line editing, so if you prefer the emacs command line editing, then the above will not work for you, in some cases I map the up/down arrows and Control-P/Control-N to vi commands.

Linux-ck and bash's history-search-backward

This issue seems really weird to me. I have this in my .inputrc:
$if mode=vi
set keymap vi-command
# these are for vi-command mode
"\ek": history-search-backward
"\ej": history-search-forward
"\e.": yank-last-arg
set keymap vi-insert
# these are for vi-insert mode
"\ek": history-search-backward
"\ej": history-search-forward
"\e.": yank-last-arg
$endif
This has been working for ages and still works when I boot the standard 3.0 kernel. But when I boot the 3.0-ck kernel, alt+j and alt+k do become previous-history and next-history respectively.
So, what does the ck-kernel has to do with these bash bindings?

I would like the up and down arrows to perform a search of the history for the string I have typed in the terminal. That is if I had issued the following sequence of commands in the terminal,
+$cd ~/+
+$nano .bash_profile+
+$vi .bash_profile+
so now these commands are sequentially listed in my bash history. Now if I press the up arrow, the first command to come up will be the last one that I entered, that is, +$vi .bash_profile+. Now if I had instead pressed +up+ three times, the command, +$cd ~/+ would come up. Now what I want bash to do, and had working in OS X 10.4, is if I type a string into the terminal (and DO NOT press ENTER) such as, +$cd+ , then I press +up+, bash will search through the terminal history for the instances of the command +cd+ that I have previously entered. This is the same behavior as the MATLAB command prompt.
I know this is possible because it used to work. I would like to have this behavior again because it is very useful. I do know that I can use +crl-R+ to search the history, but this is kind of a pain to use and it doesn't work very well.

How to enhance Interaction History Search in CRM 2007?

Hi experts,
Is there any BADI available to enhance the existing Interaction History Search in IC Agent Profile?
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Dear Rohit,
Using the below steps you can quickly find out the BADIs related to any transaction.
1) Put a breakpoint in the FM SXV_GET_CLIF_BY_NAME
2) Run your transaction(e.g. Interaction History Search). It will stop at the breakpoint you have in the above FM.
3) Chekc the value of the Fm parameter name. This will contain the BADI names.
Alternatively you can get the BADI names the following way
1)Go to the method GET_INSTANCE of the class CL_EXITHANDLER and put a break point there.
2) Run your transaction(e.g. Interaction History Search). It will stop at the breakpoint you have in the above method.
3) Chekc the value of the filed exit_name. This will contain the BADI names.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Anupam

Searching backwards in calendar

It really amazes me that no one in the Apple iPAD/iPhone world seems to find wanting to search "backwards" in their calendar unimportant.
Not many people seem to know that you cannot search for anything in the Calendar a year prior to the current date.
I do this at least once a day on my PALM Calendar and it is such a useful tool for recalling events.

This has been commented on before from time to time. Since it doesn't come up very often, maybe we can infer that it's important only to a relatively small proportion of users. But I can well understand that, to that group, it is very important. To me, it's an irritation, but I take it as one of the compromises inherent in mobile computing. What with 64GB iPads etc, many of those compromises should now be things of the past (256K Palm Pilot anyone?).
If you haven't already done so, you can leave feedback at
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Apple doesn't reply directly to feedback posts, but does read and take note of them

Ticket History Search - CRM

Hi,
I have a customized CRM ticket history search which consists of 15 fields using webdynpro. Ticket history search is used to search the tickets which are created using crmd_order.
Ticket history search module consists of both customized (like company name, Main-category and Sub-category and standard fields). I am facing the problem to give search functionality for all the 15 combinations which is 15! (factorial).
I have used standard function module in the class CRM_SERVICE_PROCESSES_SEARCH. This function module dosnt include customized fields. So there is no link between customized and standard function module.
Can anybody suggest me how to give search functionality for all possible fields.
Thanks.

hi,
if you go in SE37 you can see that the function module CRM_SERVICE_PROCESSES_SEARCH is foreseen for extension. this is using the below one
this function CRM_SERVICE_PORTAL_SEARCH might be better to use this one
for the display
the field REQUESTED_COLUMNS allows you to extend the display to other fields but not the search criteria
You can add your own field there this is working fine , I have tested with my own developed fields (run SE37 in test mode and add your fields there)
For the selection
this is object oriented coding and I guess implementing your own method is the solution.
best regards
Xavier

Is there a way to audit Safari Browser history, searches, activity?

I am not new to technology on the PC/Windows side of things. However, I am fairly new to Apple products and I am finding them very easy to set up and use which - nice work Apple! But I am finding that the level granularity and management in the OS is missing. I have two children who use our family-owned iPads for both school and personal. Other than installing a 3rd party browser (which was tried several times and met with an awful experience for both the user and the parent) or locking down the age-rating (which simply blocked a lot of relevant sites) - I could find no way to simply monitor my children's activities using Safari.
I do not want to lock down anything, I simply want to see what they're searching for and viewing and doing on Safari so I can ascertain whether to strike up a well-time conversation around whatever subject I felt necessary. I realize i can check the history but that is easily cleared.
Is what i'm looking for possible? I know with Microsoft Family Safety you can do this insanely easily for Internet Explorer and it gets very granular. Is this possible with Apple Safari?
If this is not possible, I would say this is a gigantic miss for Apple. With kids being asked to use iPads for their schoolwork and using it at home all the time, where are the family safety controls that parents can put in place to monitor activity (not lock it down)?
thanks for any guidance in advance.

For Safari history tap the bookmark icon( open book to the right of the search field). When it opens tap history.

Delete my history search

How do I clear the history on my Google search and Safari search?

Thank you, what you suggested did the job. It was so easy, now I know how to do it ,in case I need to do it again.

>> I think I need to turn security auditing on in sm19. What tables or files does sm19 store the data in?
Yes good idea ... When you activate the profile through sm19 and set the filter option, click on Environment => profile Parameter => DIR_AUDIT ...
You will have the path where the audit log are created at the OS Level.
You can also use the transaction sm20n to view the audit file

History Search by URL (rather than by keywords)

+** sorry if this had been covered before. If so, please kindly direct me to the discussions. I was unable to find it in any discussion. **+
Is it possible to search the Safari history list by URL? For instances, I want to search (and delete) anything relating to mail.yahoo.com or facebook.com.
If we use the keyword search, it'll bring up any pages that contain mail.yahoo.com (or even just partial of those words). This search result is rather meaningless, for the task anyway.
Sorry if this had been asked, I searched the discussions and have not read about it. If it's been discussed, please direct me to the existing discussions.

HI,
Not sure if this is what you are trying to do but have you tried Spotlight? Make sure your Spotlight search criteria is set up correctly first.
Open System Preferences / Spotlight. Make sure Webpages is selected.

Internet Explorer history search

can we get a search IE history and sort by time, and not just for "today", but for all history?

Hi Hollyr,
Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file.
Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products support these special PDF files, that it is better to show this message -- and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat -- than it is to let the PDF viewer try to render the document. You might want to ask the user to Reader-extend the documents so that you can view it with Adobe Reader.

Rave

Awesome bar history search, show only root domain?

I want to allow Firefox to search my history in the Awesome bar, but I'd like it to only show the root domain. For example, I'd want it to only show "support.mozilla.org" rather than "support.mozilla.org/yadyadyada/and/so/on".
Any easy way to make it do that?
Thanks!
(Firefox 34.0.5, Windows 7.)

Hello,
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
Either enter '''about:support''' in your address bar, or go to:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > Troubleshooting Information
Beside Profile Folder, click the "Show Folder" button to access the location of the file. Make sure it isn't read only. You can also install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/ Places Maintenance] extension to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first as they provide helpful hints and instructions that may be relevant to you:
