I live in the terminal all day every day. And I still copy paste. It's generally way easier and less typo prone than typing everything

@Falmarri

I do a lot of copying and pasting as well, but what works very well as well is hitting control+r. When I found that out it sped up my workflow by quite a bit.

@zbecker @Falmarri Isn’t that for a referee search in your shell? Or is that only for zsh?

What are you referring to that makes ctrl+r so powerful?

@notnorm @Falmarri basically it enabled you to search your command history
