CTRL+R [the thing]
please i beg you
-
with grep I see all the alternatives, Ctl+R just shows me one
-
For me
ctrl-ris faster most of the time,history | grep [command]is better if I can't easily pattern match (don't remember it exactly, using several flag variations, etc.). they're both good tools. -
Combine ctrl+R with fzf and get the best of both worlds

You can press up

seeing multiple at the same time is more helpful though

Ppsshh. Not lazy enough. Create that in a script and call it "hgrep" and drop it into path.

Why not just use an alias?

That's the right way, yes.

Some would call the former command cat abuse.
In short, unless you want the contents of a file printed to stdout (or multiple files concatenated), the command can probably be written without
cat, instead using the filename as an argument (grep pattern file) or IO redirection (cmd < file).Stylistics and readability are another thing though.

Exactly! Now copy paste it into Joplin where you'll never see it ever again.
