I’ve used it for so many years that it’s not an issue anymore. I remember using !! a lot but it was literally just for sudo. Now i either write what I need and do up or write what I need and then press alt+s, which seems even more intuitive now.
Oof. Posix non-compliant stuff always gives me the ick.
I highly recommend switching to zsh, it can do the same stuff and more, and it is actually a proper terminal. Switching scripts might be a bit complicated if you’re deep into it, but it’s worth it
You can also just do a
sudo !!the!!is a shorthand for whatever you tried to run previously.Was about to say, why would you copy anything when using
sudo !!lol… because I had no idea about this until now. Sweet!
Not all shells support that.
I use fish btw.
I made my own !!
I know what you meant (I have one for fish as well), but I chucked because you looked very enthusiastic about it!
The fish function for
!!is super useful thoughI don’t even know what I use anymore. My distro seems to keep changing it when I reinstall.
echo $SHELLLol, thanks. Now I know.
Holy shit I wish fish supported it. I just press up arrow then hold left arrow and manually type sudo. It fucking sucks
… are you not aware of Alt+S?!
Nope haha. Thanks for letting me know
I’ve been using this plugin https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang fish also allows going through previous arguments with alt+up
Epicc. I should install thjs
Does your keyboard not have a home key?
Didn’t know home key could do that lol.

I learned something new today!
I completely forgot about this one!
wish i could alias that
alias ffs=“sudo !!”
alias ffs='sudo $(history -p !!)'Just to confirm: I tried this, it works.
That doesn’t work? I would have thought it would work.
!! Gets replaced by whatever was run before the alias command
Bruh
What shell are you using? In both bash and zsh,
!!is a substitute for a previous commandFish

All I do in terminal is type, I don’t know scripting. But I heard a lot of things about zsh.
Oh-my-zsh is a good start then. It gives you a bunch of themes and presets and plugins so you can do whatever you want with your zsh
I’ll try thanks for the recommendation.
