Whether it is this `fuck` command, an earlier `dwim` command or any of the helpful shells or missing command tools which provide me with suggestions, for some reason it still seems to be faster to do it the way I've been doing it for years:
some_long_commnd^C
some_long_command --wthi^C
some_long_command --with these --optoin^C
some_long_command --with these --options
It might be that I just type fast - I do - or it might be that the cognitive load imposed by using 'helpful' tools like these is higher than the simple act of machine-gun-typing out a corrected version of the command.
Repeatedly typing out a command also has a bit of a satisfying "now you listen to _me_ you frickin' pile of silicon" to it, maybe that plays a role as well. On the other side it could be viewed as a form of self-flagellation, doing penance for the sin of not typing out the correct version in the first place. Whatever its virtues, it seems to work for me.
