This. It took a while for it to sink in but now it’s muscle memory and a huge time saver

What now? What is r? How does this work?

CTRL+R brings up a prompt and allows you to search through commands you’ve run before. If you’ve run different variations of the command hitting CTRL+R or CTRL+SHIFT+R cycles through commands similar to what you’ve typed out.
