Eshell, history expansion commands fail with "command not found"

Hi. I'm studying eshell and I've found problems when using history expansion. Commands like !n or !! fail to expand to the referred command. This is what I mean: ~ $ history 1 pwd 2 ls -l 3 date 4 history ~ $ !! !!: command not found ~ $ !2 !2: command not found That was run on an eshell session, emacs 28.1 (built myself from source with default options) started with --no-init-file option. There's something I'm doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

eshell does not have that feature.

I think it does, though. As usual eshell documentation is scant, but it is included in Mickey's guide to it: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-mastering-eshell. Taking a look at `(info "(eshell) History")`, it seems this is not enabled by default and we need `(add-hook 'eshell-expand-input-functions 'eshell-expand-history-references)`.

Woah, cool! I did not remember that at all even though I did read and love Petersen's guide. That guide is what convinced me to buy his book.

Thank you!

Yeah, I never miss his posts. ;-)
