Holy Crap. I have gotten into the arrow up mode. Then I went to History.
But, but, but ctrl + r. Holy crap.
Thank you kind sir or madam.
If you enjoy that, then let me introduce you you fzf - a fuzzy finder that has support for replacing ctrl + r in shells with fuzzy matching. Among other uses.

You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your ctrl+r

Is there a MacOS versiΓ³n of this? Asking for a friend.
It's the same, ctrl + r. It is a bash/shell thing so works on any os that uses bash or similar shells. Note, it is not the command key, but ctrl, unlike a lot of other shortcuts on macos.

ctrl+p gang RISE UP
Woah. Quality of meme in this site amazes me.
It's more or less like on reddit, but less users.
*fewer
It's more or fewer like on Reddit, but with less users.
Y'all know about ctrl-r to search history, right? I went for so many years without even thinking to look for something better than up-arrow, so I have to mention it.
Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...

Guilty. Even knowing better ways laziness wins. Skyrim console too.
- vim ~/.inputrc
- Paste the following:
"\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward
Thank me later

cat .bash_history | grep keyword
But yeah pretty much.
Why not just history | grep keyword then? Works in any directory.

history | grep term
ah there's my password...
Since this post triggered hidden gems: ^old^new will substitute old with new from the last command and execute.
I usually do ctrl+r but with zsh I can type the beginning of the command and press up and it will search that way too.

esc + k for me!
(vi for life)
Fish finally broke me of this habit, and now it's one of the first things I install on any system
One of the top reasons I use fish is that I never learned how to cycle through the results of ctrl+r in bash

no I don't want to write the single word command out again I'd rather go up the history with more keypresses
