Y’all know about ctrl-r to search history, right? I went for so many years without even thinking to look for something better than up-arrow, so I have to mention it.

Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace…

Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.

Here’s another mindfuck: gnu readline is so popular that developers of other software tend to implement its keybinds as hidden features/eastereggs. That’s why ctrl+u works in GTK text input boxes as well!

I end up hitting Ctrl+u at work all the time and then being disappointed and holding backspace.

history | grep <search term>

Does the job well if the key combo doesn’t work.
