I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.

One thing that I still don't know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol

In Bash you just hit ctrl+r again, and again, until you found what you're looking for

This was recently mentioned in another post, but I don’t see it here: fzf make CTRL+R much easier to use. Bonus: in zsh you can start typing a command and then hit the up arrow to show only commands that start the same.

Ctrl+R just changed everything for me now, thank you

Up arrow just feels right. If I can satisfy my goal just by tapping one button repeatedly vs not doing that. I think we all know what satisfies that part of the monkey brain.

Up arrow all the way!

Ctrl p is the appropriate keystroke to replace the up arrow.

The ! is really useful when you forget you need to run the command with sudo. sudo !!

I like the argument reuse as well via !:1 and such. A bit more situational but can definitely come in handy
