Ctrl + R is bash history search
That sounds an aweful lot like typing to me
Keep hitting CTRL+R until you find it and you can hit CTRL+S to scroll forward if you went past it 👌
I've used ctrl R for 20 years.
Now I learn of ctrl S. This is a blessed day!
You know you're allowed to read the docs, right?
NNNNEEEERRRRDDDDD
One day of figuring it out avoids 30mim of reading a doc!
Surprised they hadn’t hit the other hot key by accident myself. That’s usually how I find out about other/new features.
Yeah. Read the docs. That's how it starts. Then before you know it your captain is slapping you in the face because you had the nerve to ask to be allowed to sleep instead of driving the giant robot all day.
Reading sounds a lot like typing, only in reverse.
Or CTRL+SHIFT+r, CTRL+s just pauses my terminal output, you can unpause it with CTRL+q
I was gonna say I always used Ctrl+shift+r.... didn't even know about control+s being s thing...
I feel dirty for still using
history | grep lslolI usually alias that to "bastard", I agree with a very dirty feeling.
What if
historyonly shows the last 10-15 entries? You might have to actually type the location of the history file or find out ifhistoryhas any command line switches. (Does it have any switches? Dunno.)Edit: I think CIS Benchmarks recommended limiting bash history. Regardless, I have seen some installations that only show an abbreviated bash history by default.
Ctrl + R ls
Use fzf for an improved experience!
So basically this? It's absolutely amazing. Just be warned that it replaces ctrl+R AND up arrow shortcuts by default. You can easily disable the up arrow though.
I've not heard about atuin before but seems to do the same thing. I don't know the specific differences.
I prefer to just speak to my computer instead of using a keyboard. The computer doesn't respond but maybe one day
A speech operated terminal would be possible, speech to text is pretty well developed by now, shouldn't be too hard to hook that up to a terminal.
But, y'know, effort.
Precisely, I gotta type in order to go find a program that does that or write one myself. I will simply continuing speaking to an unyielding electric box until it gains sentience and responds.
