I would just like to complete Philips excellent answer by explaining _why_ fish doesn't implement !! and friends. The reason is that they don't give you any information about what the output will be until you execute the program. zsh gives you the option to manually expand !-commands on screen, but I feel that is a crutch and that you are better of with a system like Alt-up that shows you the result in real time. The history access system could and should be expanded to allow for more complicated searches through the history, but I belive that such additions should remain visual and interactive, like the current up and Alt-up functions are. > > Cheers, > > - Brendan > -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
