Got a question about functionality that may or may not exist, but I certainly don't want to start writing programs that already exist...
I want to be able to use the commands out of "history". When I type a long drawn out command one time I want to be able to call that same command much like bash does with tab completion or to be able to re-execute entry #100 but don't really want to alias it. This may seem lazy, but I am not one for jumping from keyboard to mouse back to keyboard...I want to use one or the other...and some systems don't even have a mouse.
Does this functionality exist under another name or exist at all? RTFM produced little on "history", Where else can I look?
TIA, Steve
!100 will execute item 100 in your command history. I generally do a history | grep something, and then !thenumber
