!! for ksh

Shell Programming and Scripting

Like C-Shell, is there a shortcut command for !! in Korn Shell? I tried to search the forum but no luck.

Run ksh in vi mode (set -o vi), and use ESC-k. That will allow you to go through the command history.

You may find the "r" alias does this, if you don't have the r alias, alias it yourself:

$ alias r='fc -e -'
$ pwd
/some/path
$ r
pwd
/some/path

If you really want it to be !! you could also do:

alias !!='fc -e -'
