If people are going to make comics about me, they could at least let me know.

We tried telling you.

Maybe if you stopped screaming every time we tried, but nooo, SOMEONE has to have issues with the voices in their walls.

They’re never going to find the body anyway. Stop worrying.

What if you are the wall

It’s time to ask yourself what you really are, because for all your big talk, all in all, you’re just another brick in the wall.

Oh, that’s a relief, thank you. You can go back making barely audible whispers and occasionally humming Baby Shark now.

Ctrl + R is bash history search

Use fzf for an improved experience!

So basically this? It’s absolutely amazing. Just be warned that it replaces ctrl+R AND up arrow shortcuts by default. You can easily disable the up arrow though.

I’ve not heard about atuin before but seems to do the same thing. I don’t know the specific differences.

Keep hitting CTRL+R until you find it and you can hit CTRL+S to scroll forward if you went past it 👌

I’ve used ctrl R for 20 years.

Now I learn of ctrl S. This is a blessed day!

You know you’re allowed to read the docs, right?

Or CTRL+SHIFT+r, CTRL+s just pauses my terminal output, you can unpause it with CTRL+q

I was gonna say I always used Ctrl+shift+r… didn’t even know about control+s being s thing…

That sounds an aweful lot like typing to me

I feel dirty for still using history | grep ls lol

I usually alias that to “bastard”, I agree with a very dirty feeling.

What if history only shows the last 10-15 entries? You might have to actually type the location of the history file or find out if history has any command line switches. (Does it have any switches? Dunno.)

Edit: I think CIS Benchmarks recommended limiting bash history. Regardless, I have seen some installations that only show an abbreviated bash history by default.

I prefer to just speak to my computer instead of using a keyboard. The computer doesn’t respond but maybe one day

A speech operated terminal would be possible, speech to text is pretty well developed by now, shouldn’t be too hard to hook that up to a terminal.

But, y’know, effort.

Precisely, I gotta type in order to go find a program that does that or write one myself. I will simply continuing speaking to an unyielding electric box until it gains sentience and responds.

Looks more like trying to get into the bios

One finger is not enough for that, could be ESC, F2, F12, DEL or whatever else the bios manufacturer landed on when they threw a dart at the keyboard.
