Hello,

I'd like to know how I can search by keywords for commands that I entered earlier in the SageMath terminal.

Thanks in advance!

After writing some prefix, typing the UP-ARROW

 sage: prefix<UP-ARROW>

Allows you to search the previous entered command starting with prefix.

EDIT: To search not only prefixes, but also any occurrences of a keyword, you may show the complete history of inputs by doing:

sage: %history

or you may use the variable In which contains the list of the inputs (the variable Out contains the outputs) doing as follows:

sage: def search_history(keyword):
....:     L = ["In[{}]={}".format(i,cmd) for (i,cmd) in enumerate(In) if keyword in cmd]
....:     print('\n'.join(L))

and then:

sage: factor(100)
2^2 * 5^2
sage: print(43)
43
sage: identity_matrix(4)
[1 0 0 0]
[0 1 0 0]
[0 0 1 0]
[0 0 0 1]
sage: search_history('factor')
In[2]=factor(Integer(100))
In[5]=search_history('factor')

Coucou Sébastien, merci pour ta réponse. It is possible to search for any keyword, not just the prefix, though?

I edited my answer adding a way to search for any keyword in the history.

Another way to search: ctrl-R and ctrl-S. This is an IPython feature: https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/6.5...
