From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

not sure if it's what you're looking for but on my Konsole (I think it's actually just a bash feature), Ctrl+R lets you search through your command history and easily pull up past commands. it's called
reverse-i-searchif you wanna check it out.I was just told, but for the quick test I did I doesn't seem to let me modified the command before executing it.
yeah I think you're supposed to be able to but it seems borked for me too. my terminal kinda freaks out when I try to move the cursor to the right to edit the command.
edit the borking was for sure because i had a broken custom $PS1. i reset it to something normal and i'm able to edit the commands pulled up with Ctrl + R just fine now by hitting the right arrow key.
That's another great option, thanks.
