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
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!
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.
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 🤣🤣🤣
~/.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
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 👍 ☺️.
Woah. Quality of meme in this site amazes me.
It’s more or less like on reddit, but less users.

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
history | grep term
- vim ~/.inputrc
- Paste the following:
"\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forwardThank me later
Ok this is actually great. Is there a way to make it so when you down arrow again it will clear the cmd line (or take it back to the prefix)?
Like “py” -> up -> down -> result is “py”
Currently it would show my last python command (or whatever matches).
Man, I’ve been on unix systems since, oh, 1994, but I’ve never messed with my .inputrc … may need to take the dive…
Hey! Sorry just getting into Linux, I love learning about cool ways of doing things more efficiently. What does this do exactly? I’ve noticed others mentioning CTRL+R and I am not sure what that means either. Thank you!
Basically, while ctrl+r is nice, this is how I got used to use my system. What this does is enable search for when you press arrow up. If you type nothing then it’s default behavior but if you type “ssh” and then start pressing arrow up it will bring up the previous command that had the word ssh in. It’s worth it for someone who constantly forgets ctrl+r exists
That’s awesome. Thanks for explaining!
