Ctrl + R is bash history search

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 95 points 1 year ago

That sounds an aweful lot like typing to me

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Keep hitting CTRL+R until you find it and you can hit CTRL+S to scroll forward if you went past it 👌

[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

I've used ctrl R for 20 years.

Now I learn of ctrl S. This is a blessed day!

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago

You know you're allowed to read the docs, right?

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago

read the docs

NNNNEEEERRRRDDDDD

[-] PapstJL4U@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

One day of figuring it out avoids 30mim of reading a doc!

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Surprised they hadn’t hit the other hot key by accident myself. That’s usually how I find out about other/new features.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Read the docs. That's how it starts. Then before you know it your captain is slapping you in the face because you had the nerve to ask to be allowed to sleep instead of driving the giant robot all day.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Reading sounds a lot like typing, only in reverse.

[-] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or CTRL+SHIFT+r, CTRL+s just pauses my terminal output, you can unpause it with CTRL+q

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I was gonna say I always used Ctrl+shift+r.... didn't even know about control+s being s thing...

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 21 points 1 year ago

I feel dirty for still using history | grep ls lol

[-] TheLordHumungus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I usually alias that to "bastard", I agree with a very dirty feeling.

Ctrl + R ls

[-] LittleWizard@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Use fzf for an improved experience!

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago

So basically this? It's absolutely amazing. Just be warned that it replaces ctrl+R AND up arrow shortcuts by default. You can easily disable the up arrow though.

I prefer to just speak to my computer instead of using a keyboard. The computer doesn't respond but maybe one day

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

You can Ctrl+R, type "ls", then keep hitting Ctrl+R until you find one without arguments if you need them. Efficiency at its finest.

[-] HolyDriver@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I usually bind it to my up arrow. Means I can still keep tapping up ;)

Thank you for this

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 1 year ago

If people are going to make comics about me, they could at least let me know.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

We tried telling you.

Maybe if you stopped screaming every time we tried, but nooo, SOMEONE has to have issues with the voices in their walls.

They're never going to find the body anyway. Stop worrying.

[-] nitefox@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago
[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

It's time to ask yourself what you really are, because for all your big talk, all in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, that's a relief, thank you. You can go back making barely audible whispers and occasionally humming Baby Shark now.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

Jfc, how did they film me?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You're in the Matrix

[-] Crass_Spektakel@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Me last Thursday:

user@work5:~$ [CTRL-R] ls

user@work5:~$ ls

me: "That will do..."

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

id type out more ~/.bash_history | grep ls and copy, paste before id type out ls tbh

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why do all that typing? Hit ctrl-r first then type ls. Bonus points if you hook fzf into it.

fzf hooked into ctrl-r, a bash history of about 100k and HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth is magic.

Note: backup your history file periodically, system crashes at the wrong time can zero it leaving you incompetent until it's restored.

Last week I switched to a new distro and decided to nuke everything except my personal data in my backup. I immediately regretted not saving my shell history file.

alias l=ls so you can finally breathe

[-] TryingToEscapeTarkov@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Then you try this on Windows and are disappointed that it doesn't remember anything from your last session.

[-] hulemy@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

My Powershell history broke yesterday after a very intense git session ;-;

[-] jaykay@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

Looks more like trying to get into the bios

[-] danielbln@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One finger is not enough for that, could be ESC, F2, F12, DEL or whatever else the bios manufacturer landed on when they threw a dart at the keyboard.

[-] jaykay@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

Roll your face across the keyboard repeatedly

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

It's more reliable than guessing the key.

If you're on an EFI based system and have systemd, you can use systemctl reboot --firmware-setup to get into BIOS!

Ctrl-r

That said... I didn't discover it so early as I should....

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

L and s are on the other side of the keyboard and I only have one hand free. Too much work.
