Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Ctrl+R

    Then type any part of the command (filename, search string, etc)

    Ctrl+R again to cycle through the matches.

    (Best feature in bash)

    Use fzf for a more visual search.

    This is the way.

    I've been using this for a long time, never knew I could press Ctrl + R again. Thanks!

    Ctrl + S to go the other way if you overshoot!

    Or history | grep 'command'

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Can't just hit enter to run the one you want then, though.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    Type: !1234 ... to run whatever history number of the command.

    Wish I knew this sooner.

    But how to go backwards and forwards through the results? I just cycle through again!!

    As @[email protected] said above, Ctrl+S
