Just discovered how easy it is to recall my last arg in shell and my brain went 🀯 How come I've never learned about this before!? I wonder how many other QOL shortcuts I'm missing on πŸ₯²

@aelaraji Oh, that's great! I haven't heard about any of them before either. There's also a caveat though, that I ran right into the very first time I tried this in zsh:

$ ls > /dev/null
$ echo $_
--color=tty

Yeah, exactly what you think:

$ which ls
ls: aliased to ls --color=tty

Alt+. is going to be my favorite one! In the above, it would also give me /dev/null, which might be probably more what I would expect.

@aelaraji I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. πŸ‘Œ

FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:

$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt

$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.

Yep!

Or:

$ ls -al subdir
ls: cannot open directory 'subdir': Permission denied

$ sudo !!
sudo ls -al subdir

@movq I'm feeling SO dumb right now πŸ˜… I used to think !! was a sudo argument and never used it out of that context! Thanks for the $(!!) tip 🀘
