This is it, my first saved comment on lemmy
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.

Thank you very much.
Fish gang arise (no need for ctrl+r, just press up)
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
lscommand!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 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

Bruh. Ctrl-r
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…What does that do?
Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.
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!
ctrl+p gang RISE UP
ctrl + r then enter phrase
With fzf!
