Your terminal writes down every command you type. Most people still retype them. These six shortcuts bring them back, and the last page is a one-screen cheat sheet you can keep next to your keyboard.
What is inside
- ctrl+r searches everything you ever typed
- sudo !! reruns the last command as admin
- cd - jumps back to the directory you were just in
- ctrl+a / ctrl+e start and end of the line, no arrow key holding
- !$ reuses the last word of the previous command
- ^old^new fixes a typo in the last command and runs it again
Who it is for
Anyone who opens a terminal every day and still holds the arrow key. Works in zsh (the Mac default) and bash.
