      @zak Generally, it's close to 100 times. If I didn't get it, then I cat ~/.zsh_history | grep <thing>

            @zak Thanks for posting this - after several years of using this particular MBP, I finally got around to enabling per-directory history in zsh.

            This exact thing has been driving me nuts lately, but I hadn't realised how annoying it was until I started to type a reply.

              @adam_caudill This is the smart thing to do for sure. I need to get around to doing this, too.

                @zak @stroz useless use of cat? πŸ˜„ (grep pattern file is the default, you don't have to pipe into it)

                    @luyin @zak oh 100% absolutely

                    This is one of those command line things that I started doing decades ago that it's just muscle memory, and I could be WAY more efficient if I trained myself out if it πŸ˜…

                      @zak Luckily, I use oh-my-zsh, so enabling it was just adding the name of a plugin to the .zshrc - less than a minute from start to finish. That'll pay for itself within a day or so.

                          As many as it takes.

                          Shame on anyone who capitulates for the easy way out.

                            And then I remember that ^R using `fzf` is so much more effective!

                                @zak I should add that with zsh I use auto suggestion and tab completion for just about anything. Makes it faster than up arrow 100x

                                    @zak Variable. It depends on the length of the command!
