What is "FYI"?
@cypnk and then you Ctrl-R one time to many
@cypnk
history | grep 'something that might have been in the command'
@gudenau This is what I do with super long filenames were involved
@cypnk Me:
% grep CHEZ ~/.zhistory|tail -2|head -1|tee pbcopy
CHEZSCHEMELIBDIRS=thunderchez-trunk: ./sdltest.ss
% CMD-V ENTER
@cypnk Does "Ctrl-R" work on the windows shell ? The Tshirt on the cartoon is a DOS prompt
@kat On Windows, it’s F7
@cypnk well i never! ... When did they bring that in ?
@cypnk DOS 5.0 ! lol I learn something new today! thanks!
@kat I rarely use the command line on Windows so I haven’t used it much personally. Sometimes, the arrows are just easier to reach
@cypnk @specter@mastodon.technology
I wish it was that simple.
Alt+n, Alt+p, if you're testing a python script on IDLE
Ctrl+up, Ctrl+down, if you're using DrRacket
etc.
@cypnk Ctrl + R ls
@cypnk sometimes in cmd you have to press down to get to a previously run command. Fucks me up like 95% of the time.
