And you can hook in fzf to it to get a proper list of previous commands all fuzzy matched!! Oh-my-zsh just requires adding fzf to your plugins list (:
I survived for years with just https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions which is similarly great, but fills a slightly different role. Just start typing and you’ll see a faded preview of the most recent command matching & u ctrl+f to autocomplete it. Is gr8
I just got moved to a new team, and my new team lead up arrow spams. I was about to tell him about ctrl-r, but he found his command, and I’m awkward, so I didn’t say anything. Maybe next time.
I was quite habituated with :x/:x!, but after switching to Kakoune, I use :wq/:wq!, because :x/:x! does not exist. Yes, it’s one extra key, but I like the overall reduce in cognitive overhead.
Question: why does nobody else save and exit with “:x” or “:x!”?
Lots of people don’t know. Just like ctrl+r to substring search your command history in bash.
I seriously pity people who don’t know ctrl+r that is one of the most important tools for productivity on the cli.

e: clarified what zsh-autosuggest does
I’ve found it’s a bit overrated honestly. Usually, I also need the commands before and after something, so I use
history | grep -B N cmd
insteadctrl+r to WHAT
IM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW
LOL. I had the same reaction when I found out a decade ago.

I guess by the time I came across
:x
,:wq
was already too ingrained to bother switching.No specific reason, but I’d rather be deep in the cold, cold ground before I quit with “:x” instead of “:wq”.
But… But :x is superior because it doesn’t overwrite unchanged files with a new modified date :(
Whoa. I’ve been doing :wq for like 25 years and never new about :x.
shift zz
It’s such an awkward letter to reach, also I’m stuck in my ways leave me alone
