    I am using ZSH, that function that allows you to type part of the command and then do UP key to find previous command starts with same prefix is killer function for me.

    (I don’t know if this function is added by oh-my-zsh or not.)

      ZSH is amazing. I’m unfortunately mostly stuck on Windows, and I didn’t find any similar alternative for win shell, but ever since I tried the ZSH configuration that’s default in Kali Linux, I’ve been hooked on ZSH.

      You can do it in Bash as well. Put this in .inputrc:

      "\e[A":history-substring-search-backward
      "\e[B":history-substring-search-forward
      
      # or, if you want to search only from the start of the command
      "\e[A": history-search-backward
      "\e[B": history-search-forward
