A long time ago, in an operating system far, far away I used a tool

and pressed up-arrow, it would filter the history entries and show only
those that started with "copy".
You can have the same behavior with page-up. This feature must be
configured in /etc/inputrc:
# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the
history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
which is (AFAIK) default in fedora.
