For something more rustic, an .inputrc file with this: # history-search-backward / history-search-forward bound to the up and down arrows "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward "\e[C": forward-char "\e[D": backward-char set show-all-if-ambiguous on set completion-ignore-case on Will search through anything matching what you've already entered. Type something like "gr" and scroll up or down to see all your previously used grep commands. Saw this long ago on here and it's on every machine I use now, can't live without it. Thankyou to whoever originally posted it.

This is something I can't live without either. I'd recommend people try this before trying to incorporate fzf, ctrl+r, etc into their workflows since it's simpler and probably covers 99% of your needs.

  While I agree one should have these keybindings, fzf + ctrl+r is a lot more powerful, and many a time I was on a system with those keybindings, and it would suck I did not have ctrl+r + fz. I'd say it covers perhaps 70-80% - not 99%.

I just use this for quick history search of typically my last few commands in .zshrc: # tsch-style history search esc-n/esc-p bindkey '\ep' history-beginning-search-backward bindkey '\en' history-beginning-search-forward If I need substrings or searching for something further back in time I just use `history -99999 | rg` Tried ctrl-r bash style for about a month back when I was switching off of tcsh and hated it.

How does this differ from https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search ? Except that yours seems to be built-in and zsh-history-substring-search is ~800 lines of zsh
