Or just use fish shell. Rarely need ctrl+r anymore.

set -o vi

ESC k /command

or just grep history...

history 500 | grep *snippet of command*

Why are you making personal attacks against me.

History | grep wtf was that command again?

It's too early to call me out like that.

I type the first few letters and use up arrow, or !start of command name

Set -o vi

Guilty!

.. And waste an opportunity to type on my ludicrously expensive mechanical keyboard?

FRIG no

Atuin Magic Shell History is pretty good.

This is why I use fish, it's weird and not posix compliant, but its autocomplete and history stuff saves so much time it's worth it

Me, playing indie games on Apple and doing the same with xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~filepath

• yes

Nah just save all your commands in a text file on the desktop then make an alias to open it in nano so you just have to type "com". Works for dumb ol me
