* [Bug gdb/10688] New: rev abbreviation for reverse-search no longer works

The addition of the reverse execution commands (reverse-search, ...) has broken
the command abbreviation "rev" for reverse-search.
On the other hand, the ninth edition of the GDB manual documents rev as the
official abbreviation for reverse-search.
Please reinstate this behavior!
Typing reverse-search just to disambiguate it from the reverse execution
commands, which are supported for a tiny number of platforms, is too painful
---yes, I know about autocompletion, but it doesn't/hasn't work/ed for all
platforms. Furthermore, the original designers of GDB clearly intended and
documented rev to mean reverse-search, and it has for many releases.
s always means step, so GDB supports "hard-wired" abbreviations.
Thanks,
Konrad Schwarz

Sorry, the above example for a reverse-execution command should have been
reverse-step.

I just noticed that "fo" for forward-search is also broken.

There is not "add_alias_cmd" for "reverse-search".
But can find a line "You can abbreviate this command as @code{rev}." in @kindex
reverse-search.
Michael, what do you think about this issue?

I agree -- reverse-search should have precedence, since it was
implemented before the others.
