So you typed something into the terminal before and you wanna bring it up now? Once that code above is in your .inputrc (for bash) or your .zshrc, then try it out:
- type the
first few characters of the thing(fortunately you remember how it started) - press the
uparrow key. ✨ the most recent command that starts with those letters shows up ✨ upagain to cycle back further- press
downto go back one :)
(there's a related thing called reverse-i-search that you can do with ctrl+r (see here) but I definitely don't like it as much b/c you can't cycle up and down, just in one direction~)
@sameetn I wish something like that would work too!
I believe you that it works somewhere - but that didn't work on my mac just now :/
