  1. Give hstr a try: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr It's saved me countless hours over the years as it's just so much better than regular CTRL-R. I also find it to work better than fzf.

    Show HN: HSTR – easily view, navigate, search and manage your shell history
    story by dvorka · 2018-08-13 · 5 comments
  15. I bound hstr to CTRL-R ( https://github.com/dvorka/hstr ) and then just search the history for the keywords I need. Only rarely is a command not already stored in the history.

  16. I've used this for years: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr

  17. You should try hstr ( https://github.com/dvorka/hstr ). It replaces CTRL-R with a full page interactive history search that really works. Demo GIF here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/375914

  18. I've found this tool to be super-helpful: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr It's like ctrl-r, but it shows you many candidates at once.
