Ctrl-r was right there.
Or sometimes
historyif I can’t remember at all.Oh my bad, two other people said that too I was just excited
CTRL+R
It’s either this or
history | grep 'some-command'.history!982You forgot a couple down arrows for when you overshoot.
If you’re in this picture try using fzf and backwards search, much more effective, hell even without fzf.
lsIntroducing:
fishAnd then you just need to remember the first letters of the previously typed command
Yup, I started using fish a while back and autocomplete is what kept me on it. The best part is that it’s contextual based on the folder you’re in.
Look up
history-search-backwardin your favorite bash/readline manual.
The command you want is in the buffered history of a still running terminal that’s doing something you don’t want to close 💀

If you haven’t, try McFly - is a much better backwards / history search in the shell.
Some of you haven’t read the bash manual and it shows.
Blow your mind to know about bang patterns. You’ve used !! but do you know about !$?
