M-r REGEXP RET e.g. M-r eva RET
The missing functionality is to get M-r (previous-matching-history-element) to
use the current minibuffer contents as REGEXP, possibly anchored to only match
commands that begin with that.
Here's what I came up with:
;; Like previous-matching-history-element, but use the current minibuffer
;; contents as REGEXP:
(defun previous-matching-history-element-default ()
(interactive)
(previous-matching-history-element (concat "\\`" (regexp-quote
(minibuffer-contents)))
(prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg)))
;; Bind to M-R to preserve M-r:
(define-key minibuffer-local-map "\M-R" 'previous-matching-history-element-default)
For completeness, define next-matching-history-element-default to call
next-matching-history-element, and bind it to M-S.
