There is a feature in termux (android) history command which when you use !371 to execute the command 371 in the command history it prints that command in the prompt instead of executing it, then you just press enter to execute it. I found it very useful because many times I want to execute a command that is in the history but with some modification, I’m using Konsole in my desktop PC and I couldn’t find an option to make such a thing. The only one I found is executing history -p !371, but that just print the command to stdout and not to the prompt itself.

EDIT: the answer is !371:p then up and the command 371 shows up in the prompt. Thanks Schizo!

    One option is Atuin which you can also use with a server connection (self-hosted or not) to sync bash history across computers.

      It’s so much better when other people build the things I need because they actually get done instead of just making due w an inferior alternative. Lol

      thank you for making me aware of it.

        Tell me about it: I have great ideas that I just need other people to bring to fruition so I can use it.
