Are you looking for a command that you used recently? Do you want to avoid the need to write long commands over and over again? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your favorite commands?
HSTR (HiSToRy) is a command line utility that brings improved bash/zsh command completion
from the history. It aims to make completion easier and more efficient
than Ctrl-r.
HSTR can also manage your command history (for instance you can remove commands that are obsolete or contain a piece of sensitive information) or bookmark your favorite commands.
