From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

orderless achieves the same sort of thing in emacs, but I also use an fzf zsh alias to see my shell history all the time!

alias hf="history -100 | fzf"

Fzf has some scripts packaged for most shells that'll replace ctrl-r reverse history search with this behavior

They also add C-t and M-c for fuzzy finding files and CDing to a subdirectory

Thank you for the reply! Just figured that out and its awesome! Love CTRL+T for file names and ALT+C for cding.

Fish shell has this built-in with Ctrl+R :)
