Hi All,
In a previous installation of Cygwin, I had 'history auto complete'
in so far as I could type a letter, press the up key and the prompt
would cycle through the most recent entries in history whose first
letter matches the letter I typed. On my newest install, this feature
isn't present. Can anyone please let me know how to put it in place?
Thanks!
Rob
:)

Depends on your shell. In Zsh it would be...
bindkey '\e[A' history-beginning-search-backward
bindkey '\e[B' history-beginning-search-forward
and in Bash...
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
Put these in your .zshrc or .inputrc.

I also needed this in my .bashrc, and the above works. Thank you!
export INPUTRC=$HOME/.inputrc

That's already the default so it doesn't do anything.
