Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I'm more of a tcsh user, where by default alt+p will search backwards for a command that starts with the text currently written in the prompt. So, type "vim" followed by alt+p as many times as necessary until I find the exact vim call that I'm looking for (normally followed by an alt+n because I pressed one too many times on p). In bash by default you have ctrl+r followed by the string you're looking for and press ctrl+r until you find the command. I can see online that alt+p is bound by default to non-incremental-reverse-search-history, where I think history-search-backward would be a better match to tcsh's behavior. Currently not at the computer so I can't test it.

I’ve been using unix for about 20 years (Oracle DBA) and am embarrassed about how few shortcuts I know. I vaguely remember seeing someone use tab to auto fill a command but never remember to find out how.

I just type "history" to see the last like 20 things I typed in, chances are in that list.
