      Is it not just Ctrl-R or is that platform dependent

        I have always used ctrl-r but I just checked and both work. TIL.

      Hmm, normally it’s just ctrl - r… Are you sure the shift is needed on your system?

        Don’t forget fzf. That will really jazz up your history search!

            Ok if you want to learn Linux, you need to start web searching for stuff you hear about. :)

            I recommend installing it as an oh-my-zsh plugin, but it’s not hard to get running in vanilla zsh/bash

        you are right, I must have just learned it with a shift for some dumb reason and it stuck, thank you internet person.

        Some variants have ctrl+r bound to something else

      Now if you had to guess how often I remember that there is a keyboard shortcut that does this, but don’t remember what it is, and do remember that I can just press up 30-70 times…

        you can hit it again after you are dialed in as much as you want and it will keep going back in time with the words you have in there and stuff that matches!

      I recommend using mcfly for that, it makes it even better.

      This. It took a while for it to sink in but now it’s muscle memory and a huge time saver

          CTRL+R brings up a prompt and allows you to search through commands you’ve run before. If you’ve run different variations of the command hitting CTRL+R or CTRL+SHIFT+R cycles through commands similar to what you’ve typed out.

            I’m new to linux and i’ve been using $history | grep <thingy>. This information is very useful, thank you.

              Sure thing! There’s lots of ways to do the same things, but either way stops you from hitting the up key a bajillion times

      Why r? Maybe if I knew why r, then I wouldn’t forget this every 13 seconds…
