And the shorthand:

    $ ls -l /tmp/foo
    ls: cannot access /tmp/foo: No such file or directory
    $ ^foo^bar
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 0 Apr 17 19:12 /tmp/bar

And the reason for the other approach - global substitution (otherwise the caret approach is simpler)

    $ ls
    hello_world hi_there_world
    $ mv hello_world hello_everyone
    $ !!:gs/hello/hi_there
    mv hi_there_world hi_there_everyone
    $ ls
    hi_there_world hi_there_everyone
