History
=======
- Command: history
(`C-a {')
Usually users work with a shell that allows easy access to previous
commands. For example, `csh' has the command `!!' to repeat the
last command executed. `screen' provides a primitive way of
recalling "the command that started ...": You just type the first
letter of that command, then hit `C-a {' and `screen' tries to
find a previous line that matches with the prompt character to the
left of the cursor. This line is pasted into this window's input
queue. Thus you have a crude command history (made up by the
visible window and its scrollback buffer).
