This original color scheme was based on Great Britain’s political system, which used red to denote the more liberal party.
The Liberal party used yellow, and it’s politics lived up to it’s name. Red was always the color used by Labour, that used to be left wing, not liberal.
(But yes, I know, they’re just politically illiterate and use “liberal” when they mean left)
No, it’s a shell feature. Terminal emulators don’t even know what shell are running typically, and I haven’t heard of them adding shell features. That would require the terminal emulator knowing you’re using bash, knowing how to interrogate history etc…
From man bash
:
yank-last-arg (M-., M-_)
Insert the last argument to the previous command (the last word
of the previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave
exactly like yank-nth-arg. Successive calls to yank-last-arg
move back through the history list, inserting the last word (or
the word specified by the argument to the first call) of each
line in turn. Any numeric argument supplied to these successive
calls determines the direction to move through the history. A
negative argument switches the direction through the history
(back or forward). The history expansion facilities are used to
extract the last word, as if the "!$" history expansion had been
specified.
fair, and of course it could be argued that that usage is common enough in America that it’s valid American-English.
But if you go to Ireland or especially Scotland, and talk about Scotch-Irish, people will either mock you openly or keep it politely to themselves and silently judge you ;). All they’ll hear is “I’m whisky-Irish”.
Sorry it’s not a very direct answer but this is one of the many things that make Emacs such a comfortable environment once you’re used to it, which takes … a while.
There is a man
command and then of course it’s just more text displayed so you can search and narrow and highlight etc. in the same way you do with any other text. Plus of course there are a few trivial bonuses like links to other man pages being clickable.
It’s all text and Emacs is a text manipulation framework (that naturally includes some editors).
