    Always amused me that sudo !! is actually more keypresses (at least on keyboards where typing ! requires holding Shift).

      You just blew my mind. sudo [space] [shift] !! [enter] (4+1+1+1+1+1) is one keypress longer than ↑ + home + sudo + space + enter (1+1+4+1+1). In your face, universe.

        If you have an actual home key. If it’s ctrl+a or (IIRC, AFK) ctrl+← then we’re even.

        And if we track hand movements then pressing ! twice may be faster than moving to another key.

        But yeah, it’s not at all clear that sudo !! is faster like you’d expect it to be.

      I use zsh with the sudo plugin. Double tap esc and your current or last command will be prefixed with sudo.
