    check out fzf (install fzf and add (assuming bash) eval "$(fzf --bash)" to your .bashrc) Makes ctrl+r a superpower

    It's awesome until you want to put the cursor in a specific spot of a previous command.

    $ rm -f delete-me.txt
ctrl-r "me", ctrl-b, ctrl-k
$ rm -f delete

    But I still use fzf because while I used to do the above, fzf offered more advantage that made switching worth it.
