Selective command-history in the terminal?

Within a terminal, when you press up in your keyboard, you get to see the past commands you have given to it before in order. I was wondering if there was a way to see only the commands in the past starting with -for instance, "ls -l". That way, if the list of commands is:

1. ls -l -a


2. cmake


3. cd ~/Desktop


4. cmake

A way to just write "ls" and tab or whatever combination of key-strokes needed to pop up the past command giving in to the terminal starting with "ls"

Thanks,

It won't show things only starting with ls, but you can do Ctrl-R ls to do a backwards search through history. Repeat Ctrl-R to find the next match.
