@antigermgerm that's nice, but can you select a line and directly execute too?
-
@retoor looks nice, but I find that 'x timeunits ago' format rather annoying, esp when it's everywhere...
I prefer bash's built-ins (taken from my ~/.bashrc):
```
export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "
export IGNOREEOF=2
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "↑$(date +%H:%M:%S) [${PIPESTATUS[@]}]\n"'
```
Still working on the 'duration' part -
@netikras nice. Even worse, the duration is live, so it updates every second. 1s ago, 2s ago etc. Who makes smth like that live 😂

-
@Chewbanacas probably yes
-
@Tounai if you mean recently, it was part of an episode of a popular linux yt channel. Reason that people go crazy is because ctrl+r was very limited, if you did several times "cp <filename>" it wouldn't search further than last match until you type along. It still works like that but narrows it down to a list.
-
@retoor just press CTRL+R until you have the command you are looking for 😂
-
@retoor I didn’t you are on my no downvote list
-
@Tounai aww! But not on your upvote list either :P
-
@retoor what devrant skin are you farming?
-
@Tounai I made ctrl+p today. It will navigate to every project directory what i'm working on at the moment and executes "code .". So, now I have client, server and protocol project open at once. Should've make this earlier. All the time i've spent cd'ing to all those directories
-
@Tounai I just use light mode. Or isn't that what you meant?
-
@retoor I mean the clothes of your avatar that require krama to get
-
@Tounai it's 1.500 points :D Ah i see, you also have 5.000 to 7.000 but this one is realiistic. I did match my avatar at a certain company. Now it's more smart casual
-
@AlgoRythm You're the second one noticing. The other one was chaosesqueeteam. Rooter was already taken and decided that retoor is a kinda normal word and uniquer anyway
-
@retoor LOL, I knew it's rooter, I never noticed it's backwards.
-
@cprn oh really? Says how techii you are. I'm a rooter by profession and retoor by name

Oh yes I know how it feels.
Minor review for making life a bit easier:
There's a nice app to manage your bash history to upgrade your useless ctrl+r in terminal. It's called atuin. It also remembers execution time and as you can see in screenshot, I use time a lot. It can also give you statistics on most used apps. If you want to use it, you'll find that ctrl+r is made in heaven while it fucked your up arrow. You can disable this with a flag.
See the movie on how it works at: https://atuin.sh/
