Do it the hard way

Use ctrl + r

...

Nitpicking: That can only happen in the Linux console, but that guy has a shirt for the Windows console.

@Fabian You can do it in cmd, but the history doesn't persist if you close it. Though in the Linux terminal I just do

cat ~/.bash_history | grep [something I recall using in the command]

Though there's probably a more efficient way to do it.

history persist in powershell

anyway fuck the CLI, I just use the GUI, point and click :D

Or you can just use fish shell

@GreatGrogrodor I usually just use `history` and scroll, then hit up a bunch of times because f*ck using the mouse to select text.

@Fabian I didn't know about that one :o

Thats fucking true 😂😂

Zsh autocompletion is great. But I also do the cat ~/.bash_history | grep trick for really old commands.

@iamavalos It's so much easier!

And no, it doesn't get better in Dvorak.

(DevRant ruined the formatting and the preceding spaces, but believe me, it doesn't look much better with the proper formatting.)

zsh ftw
