#commandhistory — Public Fediverse posts

Here's today's "peanut butter & chocolate" combination: I love `atuin`. I've been using it for at least a couple of years now. I love `fc`, though with `atuin` in place, it's harder to put yourself in an `fc` situation.

`fc` excels: opens up some previous command in your favorite editor; tweak as needed; write and quit; the changed command is executed and added to history.

`atuin` excels at almost everything else, but not this. My workflow in `atuin` to accomplish the same thing is:

* use arrows or Ctrl-R to select the command that wasn't quite right
* tab takes you back to the command line with the selected command, but does **not** execute it
* I use Vi-mode, so I have to hit ESC, and then v (and because it's Zsh, v again) to get into my editor. If you use Emacs-mode (the default), I think it's Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to go from normal typing into your full-blown editor
* tweak; write; quit
* ...and now you have the edited command, **but it still hasn't executed**
* hit return
