#### 8.2.2 Input navigation ¶

The input navigation (a.k.a. history) commands are modelled after `coming`-mode. Be careful if you are used to Bash-like keybindings: `M-p` and `M-n` use the current input as search pattern and only work Bash-like if the current line is empty. `C-<up>` and `C-<up>` work like the up and down keys in Bash.

`C-<up>, M-x slime-repl-forward-input` ¶
`C-<down>, M-x slime-repl-backward-input`

  Go to the next/previous history item.

`M-n, M-x slime-repl-next-input` ¶
`M-p, M-x slime-repl-previous-input`

  Search the next/previous item in the command history using the current input as search pattern. If `M-n`/`M-n` is typed two times in a row, the second invocation uses the same search pattern (even if the current input has changed).

`M-s, M-x slime-repl-next-matching-input` ¶
`M-r, M-x slime-repl-previous-matching-input`

  Search forward/reverse through command history with regex

`C-c C-n, M-x slime-repl-next-prompt` ¶
`C-c C-p, M-x slime-repl-previous-prompt`

  Move between the current and previous prompts in the REPL buffer. Pressing RET on a line with old input copies that line to the newest prompt.

The variable `slime-repl-wrap-history` controls wrap around behaviour, i.e. whether cycling should restart at the beginning of the history if the end is reached.
