Is there is a way to recall a command from the history on the Ubuntu GAP system prompt? (something like CTL-R on Linux systems). Basically I want to reuse a command that I typed before, but the only thing that I found is the Up arrow, which is very slow...


Many thanks.



Recall command in GAP system
I don't know about the version bundled in Ubuntu, but if GAP is [compiled with GNU readline support](https://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/doc/ref/chap6.html#X82234FD181899530) then the standard readline search functions (Ctrl-r and Ctrl-s) should be enabled. You can use the instructions shown on the manual page to check if your version of GAP is built with readline support. If the installation seems correct, but the key combo still doesn't work, it is best to reach out [to the experts](https://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/doc/ref/chap1.html#X7BF552C07E2F8F7C).
