emacs helm M-x: how to jump to the list of historical command

When I run M-x to open helm, it displays 2 lists, one is the list about the ALL command matching the pattern, another list is the hisotrial. How to quickly jump to the historical one?

Solution

  • You can use C-o to switch between Helm sources (in your case jump to the historical one).

    After helm Mx shows up, you can type C-c ? to display the numerous available bindings.

    In my setup I bind M-o to helm-previous-source, so I use C-o, M-o, to navigate up/down sources, in addition to sources cycling (setq helm-move-to-line-cycle-in-source t).
