^r then, start typing the e command
Yeah been doing that for over 15 years, and it sucks!
I'll say what I've said before...
Cunningham's law states "The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer."
I think we're about to see a new law "The best way to find the right solution on the internet is not to ask for it; it's to post a vibe coded solution."

That being said, you can also just ask your LLM something like "is there already a solution to this? anything else I should know?"
I am not looking for what atuin or x does. Been using Linux, *BSD for over 15 years. Just got tired of the same issue, depending on Obsidian for my commands. This was just easy. So I shared what was useful. I don't believe I was trying to convince anyone to use it. If you find it useful, use it, if not, don't.
This. Combine with fzf for better experience.
Omniscient is a cross-platform command history tracker that captures every command you run, categorizes them intelligently, and makes them instantly searchable. Survive machine migrations, access your command library anywhere, and boost your CLI productivity.
Why?
Cause I got tired of having to record commands and store them in my second brain. And history search often hits limits. Also it would be great to have richer search for commands that are contextual (kubectl, git)

Curious how this differs from Atuin — is there a particular problem it solves better?
Atuin is a monster. I was looking to prove an idea I had around my workflow and the problems I experience. I want something small, minimal and source code I trust.
what's wrong with history and grep? you can throw in a #comment if you want to tag things
Someone never read their shell’s manpages
I certainly did and do. Not interested in having endless configurations every time I being a new OS.
Aka an alternative to atuin
heard of atuin?
Nope, but looks fantastic
I did take a look, a bit more than what I am looking for. It costs nothing to build these things in Rust and that meet my very exact needs. Thanks for the suggeston :)
