Having switched to fzf, and coming from the normal Bash backwards history search, it’d be great, if selecting the item from the fzf list, would execute it right away, so I only have to hit return once.

Duplicate of #477. The issue is left open as we haven't found a way to allow the user to dynamically choose which action to perform, edit or execute, on bash. If you unconditionllay want to execute the command, you can simply append \C-m to the key binding.

# Append \C-m
bind "$(bind -s | grep '^"\\C-r"' | grep -v '\\C-m' | sed 's/"$/\\C-m"/')"

Alternatively, you can define an extra key binding for that leaving the default one unchanged.

# CTRL-X CTRL-R
bind "$(bind -s | grep '^"\\C-r"' | sed 's/"/"\\C-x/' | sed 's/"$/\\C-m"/')"

I added the "Append \C-m" line to the end of

shell/key-bindings.bash

It works but is this the correct location?
