What does HackerNews think of hstr?

bash and zsh shell history suggest box - easily view, navigate, search and manage your command history.

Language: C

#21 in Bash

#34 in C

#72 in Linux

#4 in Ubuntu

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.

Have you looked at hstr?

Since no one mentioned it, hstr[1] is a game changer for me.

And if you want to make bash history usable, use hstr [1].

As addition to this advice one can use history autocomplete tool like for example this one: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr - very useful!
