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.

[-] nous@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

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.

Man I over use it at work - even when sitting in front of a pwsh prompt

You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your ctrl+r

[-] Skuldugery@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I can recommend fzf since it also supports searching the current directory

Is there a MacOS versión of this? Asking for a friend.

[-] nous@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

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.

Time to up your game with Ctrl + R reverse search! 🤓

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, and Ctrl + Shift + R brings you back in the search, niiiiice.

Thank you kind stranger 👍 ☺️.

[-] someacnt_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Woah. Quality of meme in this site amazes me.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

It's more or less like on reddit, but less users.

[-] unstable_confusion@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's more or fewer like on Reddit, but with less users.

[-] CthulhuDreamer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

ah there's my password...

[-] anthimatter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Guilty. Even knowing better ways laziness wins. Skyrim console too.

[-] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] amanwithausername@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...

history | grep term

[-] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
  1. vim ~/.inputrc
  2. Paste the following:

"\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward

Thank me later

Ctrl+R together with fzf makes this obsolete

[-] jogurt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

cat .bash_history | grep keyword

But yeah pretty much.

[-] 1337@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Why not just history | grep keyword then? Works in any directory.

Me when configuring a switch.

[-] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Since this post triggered hidden gems: ^old^new will substitute old with new from the last command and execute.

[-] CheemsBread@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

esc + k for me! (vi for life)

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

And the command is something like ls -l 👍

I feel this in my soul. Or when you realize you're hitting up up up up to find something trivial like ls and it would have been more efficient to just type ls. LOL.

[-] voidf1sh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Fish finally broke me of this habit, and now it's one of the first things I install on any system

[-] smorks@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

another happy fish convert here too!
