Some really neat tricks here in this Shell Tricks blog post by https://burningboard.net/@Larvitz -- thanks Larvitz!
I knew of most of them, but am glad to have now learned of:
1. "fc" to edit the previous command in your editor of choice
2. "**" (globstar) for recursive searching instead of needing to use find (or ls -R)
3. That "esc-." is repeatable to go back further than just the previous command's last arg. I use that all the time, but never thought to hit it more than once!https://blog.hofstede.it/shell-tricks-that-actually-make-life-easier-and-save-your-sanity/
