Guys guys. Try pressing CTRL+S on the Repl… Julia 1.13.2 Nice feature, but perhaps not the best hotkey? CTRL+S is “save” everywhere else.

[image] freeman: CTRL+S is “save” everywhere else. That’s not true: in Emacs, and all Emacs-inspired keybindings (like most shells, and REPLs, including ipython), Ctrl+S is, surprise, the search functionality . So, in fact, Ctrl+S (and Ctrl+R) is a very standard keybinding for searching throug…

Running stty -ixon in your shell before starting Julia usually frees it up, and you can put it in your shell profile to make it permanent. Also handy: pressing Ctrl+R repeatedly cycles…

It’s “save” here, too, sort of: in both v1.13 and 1.14, <C-s> or <C-r> opens a history list. In the list <C-r> does nothing but <C-s> offers to save the selected item to a file or the clipboard. You can select an item by typing a string that it contains and then using the arrow keys.
