Up arrow just feels right. If I can satisfy my goal just by tapping one button repeatedly vs not doing that. I think we all know what satisfies that part of the monkey brain.

The ! is really useful when you forget you need to run the command with sudo. sudo !!

[-] dukk@programming.dev 2 points 3 years ago

That’s life changing shit right there.

[-] wuddupdude@feddit.nl 2 points 3 years ago

No thanks. I'll just press the up arrow -> ctrl-a -> sudo

[-] norawibb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 years ago

this is way more intuitive anyway

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago

I like the argument reuse as well via !:1 and such. A bit more situational but can definitely come in handy

This was recently mentioned in another post, but I don’t see it here: fzf make CTRL+R much easier to use. Bonus: in zsh you can start typing a command and then hit the up arrow to show only commands that start the same.

[-] supermurs@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago

Up arrow all the way!

I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.

One thing that I still don't know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol

Press Ctrl+r and Ctrl+s to cycle through.

[-] red@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago

In Bash you just hit ctrl+r again, and again, until you found what you're looking for

Ctrl+R just changed everything for me now, thank you

[-] crunchypotat77@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

CTRL+R is the GOAT.

[opens terminal and hits control-R]

My mind has been expanded. How come no one told me of this before? This surf-and-turfs the fuck out of mashing up.

[-] ProfessorGumby@midwest.social 2 points 3 years ago

Ctrl p is the appropriate keystroke to replace the up arrow.

  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
