Mastering Bash and Terminal

I actually resolved most of that common issues with just bash: :)

Substring history search, so you can use just a substring to look for a argument,command. Binded to ctr+r/s by default. ;)

Changing directories: Last n directories, transparent popd/pushd.

Movements: vim-surround for your cli, so you can do ysiw" o whatever... ;)

https://github.com/liloman/bash-surround

Control-n right: So just type the start and control+n to search for the arguments/commands starting with whatever. And the classical up/down to look up for a complete history line:

There're a ton of hidden functionality and customization behind the classical bash instalation. :)

That is amazing, thanks for sharing.

I'm gonna steal some ideas from asyncBash

I'm glad you liked it. :)

I don't understand why the default bash/readline doesn't get something related for substring search or way better autocompletions, it's really not that hard definitely (actually quite easy) and even when that's the reason for a lot of people to choose zsh over bash.
