ctrl + rgangHoly 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.

Thank you very much.
Man I over use it at work - even when sitting in front of a pwsh prompt
pwsh with nushell is pretty good
You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your
ctrl+rI 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.Finally the ls command!
Fish gang arise (no need for ctrl+r, just press up)
Ctrl R > start typing
You’re welcome to have your life changed
What the actual… Thanks
Finally the
lscommand!Up up up up up up up up up oh wait down
you allllways overshoot
Based
Bruh. Ctrl-r
you’re amazing, this is going to change how I use fish
Or the history substring search plugin for zsh showing inline history as you type, like fish.
For real. Alternatively use alias to reassign a command to something shorter if it’s one you’re always searching for later. I use ‘update’ as an alias for ‘apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt autoremove && apt autoclean’
ctrl + r then enter phrase
With fzf!
I haven’t been on linux in a while but i remember using a file manager that had fuzzy finder and it was nice. I miss linux actually. oh well!
~/.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 gameit 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
Bro, do you even
^R?ctrl+p gang RISE UP
cat /var/www/vhosts.d/l[tab]o[tab]l[tab]a[tab]…
lola 🤨?
cat /var/www/vhosts.d/lolanotherfilehasthesamenamebutwith1.conf
Oh 🤣🤣🤣
Time to up your game with Ctrl + R reverse search! 🤓
Oh, and Ctrl + Shift + R brings you back in the search, niiiiice.
Thank you kind stranger 👍 ☺️.
Look up fzf for luxury treatment
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.
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
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+uwhen you mistyped your password insudoinstead of spamming backspace…I end up hitting Ctrl+u at work all the time and then being disappointed and holding backspace.
Bro. You just changed my life and don’t even realize it
Here’s another mindfuck: gnu readline is so popular that developers of other software tend to implement its keybinds as hidden features/eastereggs. That’s why ctrl+u works in GTK text input boxes as well!
What does that do?
Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.
history | grep <search term>
Does the job well if the key combo doesn’t work.
This. I didn’t know about CTRL+R, but this has been my goto
Followed by !xxx where xxx is the number of the command to re-run
history | grep term
