Ctrl + R is bash history search

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 96 points 2 years ago

That sounds an aweful lot like typing to me

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years 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 56 points 2 years ago

I've used ctrl R for 20 years.

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

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 12 points 2 years ago

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

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

read the docs

NNNNEEEERRRRDDDDD

[-] PapstJL4U@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

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

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Reading sounds a lot like typing, only in reverse.

[-] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

I feel dirty for still using history | grep ls lol

[-] TheLordHumungus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

Ctrl + R ls

[-] LittleWizard@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

Use fzf for an improved experience!

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years 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

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years 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 2 years ago
[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

Jfc, how did they film me?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You're in the Matrix

[-] Crass_Spektakel@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Me last Thursday:

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

user@work5:~$ ls

me: "That will do..."

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago

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

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] jaykay@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 years ago

Looks more like trying to get into the bios

[-] danielbln@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

Roll your face across the keyboard repeatedly

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 9 points 2 years 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!

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

Ctrl-r

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

[-] Fjor@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Ouff... way too accurate.
