@lain it depends on the length of the command, length of the history and whether there's autocomplete or not x.x oh and some autosuggests allow tapping up with filtering by input which is quite neat

@lain does tapping the up arrow key until you find a vaguely similar command, deleting half then typing the other half that you actually need then realizing you missed a flag and Ctrl+C ing it mid-way and undoing anything it touched then tapping the up arrow and adding what you missed instead of just typing the command actually increase productivity? studies are underway.
