    This is pretty much the biggest reason why I like fish. It automatically runs Ctrl+R as soon as you start typing and shows it as auto-completion suggestion.
    You would not believe all the things past-me has run in their terminal, that I would never think to Ctrl+R. It’s like the AI stuff the whole IT world rages about, except past-me has real intelligence.

    i like how it’s’ easier for me to do less ~/.bash_history | grep <some part of a command i want to us> instead of just doing an alias.

    I use ctrl+r to the point that for some shorter commands i probably waste more time using it vs just typing it normally

    You can list your aliases in bash pretty readily.

    $ alias
alias emacs='emacs --no-site-file'
alias ls='ls --color=tty -v'
$

    I just load bash.history in Kate or whatever and ctrl-f the command, copy the line, insert that in the terminal, adapt if necessary and go. Unless it’s one of the last ten or so I used, then it’s just ⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️

    Using gs, ga and gc for git bullshit has saved me many a keystroke. They show the current status, last log and prompt me for commit message and everything!

    This is why I follow linux memes, I don’t know if I have ever bumped into CTRL+R but I finally can let go of

      If you haven’t used them before, there’s also ! and ^.

      ! invokes the last command starting with the following string.

      ^ searches for the last command containing the first string, replaces that string with the second, and invokes that.

      $ ls *.mp4
Episode_One.mp4  Episode_Two.mp4
$ !l
ls *.mp4
Episode_One.mp4  Episode_Two.mp4
$ ^mp4^mp3
ls *.mp3
music.mp3
$

        I used !<index> Together with history by giving an index displayed in the history list, but did not know that you can use it like that! Also didn’t know about ^

        Thanks for the tips!

      You say this, but then you discover $HISTTIMEFORMAT which helps records when you last ran a command as a comment in the history file and Ctrl+R won’t tell you that information.

      The hard part with adopting that, though, is editing in plausible looking dates for commands that were issued before it was set up (or choosing not to and dealing with the confusion until those commands disappear off the top of the history).

        Another awesome tip I’ve learned today, thanks! Yeah often I remember the actual day I typed a specific command but must manually scroll through. This is another useful tip. I don’t think I’ll completely let go of history since it’s also super convenient to just look up index and type !345 for example.

        The default ones are the same as in emacs, so if you know emacs, you probably know them too, but Control-U kills (roughly equivalent to “cut” for non-emacs people) from the cursor to the beginning of the line, which emacs doesn’t do; that defaults to something like M-- M-1 C-k in emacs.

        If you’re a vi person, you can do set -o vi and use vi functionality. Hit Esc to go into vi-style command mode.

        I feel like I forget those that I just don’t use often enough, and when I would need them I default to what I know (which is always a slower way than knowing a shortcut) in a “hurry”.

        Guess I should just print them and tape the paper next to my monitor.

    fzf makes ctrl-r really nice so you use it more often, especially if you use tmux as well.

    Or do as I do, set up aliases for everything and forget out to use the actual commands

    up arrow

    If readline hasn’t been reconfigured from the default emacs mode, you can use Control-P and keep your fingers on the home row.

      That’s what I actually use (and ctrl-r also quite a bit), but up arrow for the meme
