Seeing a lot of “fiddly” software being listed here. Stuff that lets you configure and tune a workflow endlessly. It’s ironic that this is the sort of thing most of us will think of, since it doesn’t really account for time saved so much as time spent fiddling…
Keeping an eye out for software that you barely use, as this is the kind with the most potential to truly save me time.
From that perspective, using Ctrl+R and Ctrl+S for reverse-i-search in a shell saves me so much time from writing commands especially big Kubernetes ones.
Give hstr a try: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr
It's saved me countless hours over the years as it's just so much better than regular CTRL-R. I also find it to work better than fzf.
