My dotfiles[1,2] are full of various functions to do stuff. Half of them I jacked from other people[3] when I was using Bash and ported to ZSH when I discovered Oh-my-zsh. However, a few are my own. The ones that I did write are often one-liners that take an argument and pass it to a series of commands that I'd rather not type. For example history | grep -i command, ls -lah | grep dir, or my favorite, cd dir; ls. If I have to do any logic, aside from determining what OS I'm on, I look to python.

You seem like the kind of person who'd appreciate Percol[1]. It's fantastic for shell history. I have it bound to Ctrl+R: history | percol --prompt-bottom --result-bottom-up I'm using fish, so the whole thing looks like this: function _percol_key_bindings function __percol_ctrl_r set tempfile (mktemp) history | percol --prompt-bottom --result-bottom-up >$tempfile and commandline (cat $tempfile) commandline -f repaint rm -f $tempfile end # Bind Ctrl+R to percol history function for now bind \cr '__percol_ctrl_r' end [1]https://github.com/mooz/percol/ https://github.com/mooz/percol/
