I've been using ctrl + R more now :3.. though I definitely used to ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

check out fzf (install fzf and add (assuming bash) eval "$(fzf --bash)" to your .bashrc) Makes ctrl+r a superpower

It's awesome until you want to put the cursor in a specific spot of a previous command.

$ rm -f delete-me.txt
ctrl-r "me", ctrl-b, ctrl-k
$ rm -f delete

But I still use fzf because while I used to do the above, fzf offered more advantage that made switching worth it.

I'll try it if I don't forget it by the next time I have access to my PC lol :3

Ctrl + r with fzf and you’ll never go back.
