Preserve Bash History Among Multiple Windows?

[user2037]

When opening multiple windows it seems the last window's latest Bash history appears first when scrolling back through commands with the up arrow. Is it possible to configure Bash and/or Gnome-terminal to mix the recent histories among all the windows (based on input time of the commands)?

Add these lines to .bashrc file in the home directory, if not already there:


shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a" There's some good info in this link as well:
