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.
