Value

nil

Documentation

If non-nil, comint-insert-previous-argument counts args from the end.

If this variable is nil, the default, comint-insert-previous-argument counts the arguments from the beginning; if non-nil, it counts from the end instead. This allows to emulate the behavior of ESC-NUM ESC-. in both Bash and zsh: in Bash, number counts from the beginning (variable is nil), while in zsh, it counts from the end.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 27.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
