problem

They took away the history command and didn't tell me how to use jline history.

I tried something, but it looks broken.

@som-snytt I'm not able to reproduce this on 2.13.12; are you?

All my good ticket titles get edited by the editor, for some reason.

I'll give it a try. I miss vi bindings in REPL, and often think how I must track down how to fix it.

I recently relearned about -Xjline:vi because they removed it.

This bug is when you hit ESC/ for search in vi. It displays as ? for searching backward in history, as in a shell.

I see the stack trace says viHistorySearchBackward.
