I've been using fish for some time now and I understand that the !! syntax
is a design decision not an omission.
That being said, I still miss it all the time.
So if I want to create a function to fill the 'sudo bang bang void', how
would I do it?
Specifically, how do I pick out the last command from history from a
function?
Thanks,
-Mike

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
