history | grep {some part of command}
Much more useful for going further back, even without grep.
As some one who SSH's from a phone to run Docker containers and will be moving the container volumes to a different location, I thank you for this lovely command.
no I don't want to write the single word command out again I'd rather go up the history with more keypresses
Fish finally broke me of this habit, and now it's one of the first things I install on any system
another happy fish convert here too!
One of the top reasons I use fish is that I never learned how to cycle through the results of ctrl+r in bash
Fish? Please enlighten a casual user
Fish Shell - Friendly Interactive Shell. It has tons of themes and customizable prompts, but most importantly it scans through your command history and autocompletes previous commands. You can even to back through previous versions of a certain command for example I copy a couple different files a lot so I'll type 'cd' then press up to get to the specific command I need. It'll also autocomplete command names if they're in the path. It's a life changer for sure
Friendly Interactive SHell. I also use it, and I find some of the extra features delightful. I don't think it's POSIX compliant if you're one of the two dozen people who have to worry about that for your use case.
The command is ls
I feel this in my soul. Or when you realize you're hitting up up up up to find something trivial like ls and it would have been more efficient to just type ls. LOL.
I try to avoid the terminal as much as I humanly can because of ergonomic issues like this.
