      If you haven’t used them before, there’s also ! and ^.

      ! invokes the last command starting with the following string.

      ^ searches for the last command containing the first string, replaces that string with the second, and invokes that.

      $ ls *.mp4
Episode_One.mp4  Episode_Two.mp4
$ !l
ls *.mp4
Episode_One.mp4  Episode_Two.mp4
$ ^mp4^mp3
ls *.mp3
music.mp3
$

        I used !<index> Together with history by giving an index displayed in the history list, but did not know that you can use it like that! Also didn’t know about ^

        Thanks for the tips!
