How to get back the previously typed command in the screen?

[CALYAN]

I want to get an command previously typed by pressing arrow
key how to do it?

If u running ksh use esc+k key combination. make sure that ur $SHELL=ksh.
or
ksh -o vi

run bash

thanks
ESC + K works fine

The reason why Esc+k works, is because the following lines have probably been added to your .profile file:

export EDITOR=vi
export HISTFILE=~/.sh_history
export HISTSIZE=50

If you really want to use the arrow keys then run "keysh" which is an extension of the standard Korn-shell.

 

[dreammer]

On POSIX shell, try 'set -o vi'
then use Esc + K

Does it work too?
