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.

Man I over use it at work - even when sitting in front of a pwsh prompt

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.

Fish gang arise (no need for ctrl+r, just press up)
Finally the ls command!
Up up up up up up up up up oh wait down

Bro, do you even ^R ?
~/.bash_history is where my documentation lives
yeah, the other day i was supposed to remove a restriction from a router that was some custom thing built on a raspberry pi. i logged in, started messing around, trying to figure out the system, and of course i looked at bash_history because why not, i'm unfamiliar with the setup so it seemed like a good place to start. up until i found some commands editing it. so i'm like
$ export HISTFILE=/dev/null # alright, two can play this game
it ended up being a simply cron job that runs a script that starts and stops hostapd every once in a while. i didn't disable the cron job, i just commented out a critical line from the stop script. happy debugging to the sysadmin, lol

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...

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

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.

Guilty. Even knowing better ways laziness wins. Skyrim console too.
history | grep term
Since this post triggered hidden gems: ^old^new will substitute old with new from the last command and execute.
Me when configuring a switch.
esc + k for me!
(vi for life)
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.
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.
no I don't want to write the single word command out again I'd rather go up the history with more keypresses
