ctrl + r
gangHoly 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.

You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your
ctrl+r
I can recommend fzf since it also supports searching the current directory
This is it, my first saved comment on lemmy

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+u
when you mistyped your password insudo
instead of spamming backspace…
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.
fish automatically searches as you type, just start typing and press -> when you find the command you need.
Zsh does the same, though I think you need oh my zsh and a plugin for it.
