One person would have responded with “LMGTFY”. Another would have said “Why are you trying to do it that way? You should do it this way”. Another would have asked what distro they were using, and regardless of the answer, bullied them for their choice. Yet another would have given a very confident and wrong answer. One more would have suggested they use kde instead of genome. And finally, a mod would mark the question as duplicate of another unanswered question and lock it. Thats why.
Why ask for help if I can spend hours in “terminal flow” where I know every three character sequence for CTLR+R to suggest the last 10 commands in the history?
Why didn’t you just ask?

I meant ask me specifically. I would have told them.
Told them to fuck off because they use the wrong distro? /s
I usually put my question in search engine, plus the word “bash.”
Relevant answers ensue.

It has changed part of my life. Unbelievably fast indexing. Not super related to command history, but the hotkey reminded me of it.
