Ctrl+R

Then type any part of the command (filename, search string, etc)

Ctrl+R again to cycle through the matches.

(Best feature in bash)

I’ve been using this for a long time, never knew I could press Ctrl + R again. Thanks!

wandering_nomad@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Ctrl + S to go the other way if you overshoot!

Can’t just hit enter to run the one you want then, though.

Type: !1234 … to run whatever history number of the command.
