Editing Comparison of command shells (section)

=== Command history ===
{{main article|Command history}}
Users of a shell may find themselves typing something similar to what they have typed before. Support for ''command history'' means that a user can recall a previous command into the command-line editor and edit it before issuing the potentially modified command.

Shells that support completion may also be able to directly complete the command from the command history given a partial/initial part of the previous command.

Most modern shells support command history. Shells which support command history in general also support completion from history rather than just recalling commands from the history. In addition to the plain command text, PowerShell also records execution start- and end time and execution status in the command history.
