How to reset line at cursor if no forward search results are found?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
In my .bash_profile, I've bound the up/down arrow keys to the history-search functions:
if [[ $- == *i* ]]
then
bind '"e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"e[B": history-search-forward'
fi
This allows me to search my history backwards using the up arrow and forwards using the down one. However, if I'm searching forwards and I get to the last command, I want to be able to press down again to remove the search result at the cursor. For example, if | is the cursor:
$ echo hello|
hello
$ echo |
Pressing the up arrow key here will do:
$ echo hello|
hello
$ echo |hello
I would like to be able to press the down arrow key to remove the hello (i.e the search result) so that I'm back at:
$ echo hello|
hello
$ echo |
Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer myself.

history shows you the commands you did before. It does not edit commands. Use backspace :-)
