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.
history | grep term
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.

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...

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

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

Since this post triggered hidden gems: ^old^new will substitute old with new from the last command and execute.
esc + k for me!
(vi for life)
Me when configuring a switch.
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.
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.
