Tfw I rather type it out instead of searching through the history

I use xonsh, which has decent history - start your command, and up arrow cycles through commands stating with what you typed.

There's good stuff and bad stuff about xonsh.

I rarely use fuzzy finder to search up the commands that I'm going to use. If you realise that a certain command with arguments is often being used, you should create an alias for it so that you don't have need that memory load. That being said, I appreciate shell like fish provides auto complete (derived from command history) to speed up my workload.
