   Ten-character #Linux or #Unix command? Pshaw! Real Linux and Unix wizards summon their magic spells by mashing the up arrow a thousand times. It's the ancient ritual of command-line mastery. Lmao.

     @nixCraft it's been a long time since I used a shell, but I seem to recall that !<1+ cmd letters> will bring up the most recent command starting with the string pattern you typed>. Eg !l would bring up the last ls command.

     @nixCraft Or just use CTRL+r and use the fzf command search feature in zsh. Best thing I discovered so far using the terminal

     @nixCraft Again a faux CLI hacker. This avoids retyping the command, and it still works if the command is not in the history:

     $((history | grep --only-matching ls || echo ls) | head --lines 1) 😅
