There is a feature in termux (android) history command which when you use !371 to execute the command 371 in the command history it prints that command in the prompt instead of executing it, then you just press enter to execute it. I found it very useful because many times I want to execute a command that is in the history but with some modification, I’m using Konsole in my desktop PC and I couldn’t find an option to make such a thing. The only one I found is executing history -p !371, but that just print the command to stdout and not to the prompt itself.
EDIT: the answer is !371:p then up and the command 371 shows up in the prompt. Thanks Schizo!
I never understood the idea of using the command numbers. Ctrl-R is just so much easier.
Because learning Linux takes time, I’ve been using Linux and the command line many years and it’s the first time I come across that command. I even made an alias for ‘history | grep’ to search for commands in history 😂
True… but if there is 1 command that makes learning Linux faster, it’s this one.
Or
man😉
