The number of people who don’t reverse-I-search is too damn high

CTRL+R for those unitiated

reverse-i-search + fzf = <3

It was quite a while before I realised that was possible.
Then not long after starting to use it, that I got fed up and just started opening up the history file and searching in it.

why not history | grep -i and the search term?

even if there are several, you can use ! and the command's line number to run it again

history is shell dependent.
