Ctrl R > start typing
You’re welcome to have your life changed
What the actual… Thanks
ctrl + r
gangHoly 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.

Fish gang arise (no need for ctrl+r, just press up)
You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your
ctrl+r
I can recommend fzf since it also supports searching the current directory
This is it, my first saved comment on lemmy
Is there a MacOS versión 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.
Bro, do you even
^R
?Finally the
ls
command!Or
history | grep {command}
i have a alias for h which is history, then hg which does this and i can search my whole 52 thousand line history file and find anything i’ve ran

where xx is the number of record in history.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 insudo
instead of spamming backspace…
ls -la
ls -hal
ls -halal
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.
fish automatically searches as you type, just start typing and press -> when you find the command you need.
Zsh does the same, though I think you need oh my zsh and a plugin for it.
