sc Spreadsheet Command History

 
I just discovered that sc has
a command history. How could I have
gone so long without discovering this!

This is so useful, especially for repeating
searches. To repeat a command, just get
into command mode. For example, just type
g in order to threaten to do a search.
The g command is mnemonic for go
which means go find it.

Once you've typed g, type the up arrow
to go backwards through the command history and
type the down arrow to go forward through the
history. This is very helpful.

I really need to explore more. This is how
I discovered the command history. I've re-read
the sc manpage documentation many times
but somehow I never felt inspired enough to look
into the possibility of a command history.

For some reason, the things you discover yourself
mean so much more to you then the things you
read about or the things people tell you.
