When the debugger is in Motif edit mode (see “Editing the Command Line ”) a history buffer appears above the Debugger Input box. Click on an item in the history buffer to copy it into the input box, or double-click on it to re-execute the command.

When the debugger is in Ksh edit mode, you can use key commands to scroll through the command history. For example:

  • If EDITOR is set to emacs, CTRL-P accesses the previous command and CTRL-N accesses the next command.

  • If EDITOR is set to vi and you are in vi command mode, k accesses the previous command and j accesses the next command.

Command history is stored in a file called .ddehist in the directory where the debugger is started, and is preserved between debugging sessions.
