yeah I ONLY just recently switched to fish after using zsh and oh my zsh for so long - pretty much since first starting linux cause I once saw someone using it on unixporn and I thought "that's cool"

when I switched to NixOS zsh with all the plugins was a total slog. switched to fish and it just HAS everything that zsh/oh my zsh and the various plugins had but baked in.

so yeah in Fish it's just starting to type something and hoping it's still in the history.

That's what I do in bash except for pressing up it's ctrl+r. FZF does the fuzzy finding for me. It's so convenient.
