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 !!
That’s life changing shit right there.
No thanks. I'll just press the up arrow -> ctrl-a -> sudo
this is way more intuitive anyway
I like the argument reuse as well via !:1 and such. A bit more situational but can definitely come in handy
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.
In Bash you just hit ctrl+r again, and again, until you found what you're looking for
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.
Up arrow all the way!
[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.
Ctrl+R just changed everything for me now, thank you
CTRL+R is the GOAT.
Ctrl p is the appropriate keystroke to replace the up arrow.
history |grep
Wait there is another way to see previously executed commands in bash besides the up arrow?
