When I was using Linux before I remember that I had a pretty useful shortcut. It was Ctrl+↑ (There was also Ctrl+↓ which did the opposite way) and it worked as follows: For example I typed /he in the terminal (without pressing ENTER). If I press CTRL+UP it shows the last command that was ran with prefix /he. If I press again, it will go up and up in the history commands. Example:

> history
cat text1.txt
cat text2.txt
cat text3.txt

If I write cat in the terminal and click Ctrl+↑ it will switch to cat text3.txt and if I press again it will switch to cat text2.txt. Is there some similar shortcut in Ubuntu?

## arrow up
"\e[A":history-search-backward
## arrow down
"\e[B":history-search-forward

From Bash history search, partial + up-arrow

Is this what you were looking for?
