Minor review for making life a bit easier:

There's a nice app to manage your bash history to upgrade your useless ctrl+r in terminal. It's called atuin. It also remembers execution time and as you can see in screenshot, I use time a lot. It can also give you statistics on most used apps. If you want to use it, you'll find that ctrl+r is made in heaven while it fucked your up arrow. You can disable this with a flag.

See the movie on how it works at: https://atuin.sh/

    @antigermgerm that's nice, but can you select a line and directly execute too?

    @retoor looks nice, but I find that 'x timeunits ago' format rather annoying, esp when it's everywhere...

    I prefer bash's built-ins (taken from my ~/.bashrc):

    ```

    export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "

    export IGNOREEOF=2

    export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "↑$(date +%H:%M:%S) [${PIPESTATUS[@]}]\n"'

    ```

    Still working on the 'duration' part

    To be fair I found it to be a great blessing using the standard ctrl R.
    But thanks I’ll check it out

    @netikras nice. Even worse, the duration is live, so it updates every second. 1s ago, 2s ago etc. Who makes smth like that live 😂

    If cwerg was a word in Polish it would sound like the German word for dwarf.

    Does it involve dwarves in any way?

    I can't be doing with it if there are no dwarves.

    I wonder why everyone is going crazy with this thing, it seems like a bloated version of the default search

    @Tounai if you mean recently, it was part of an episode of a popular linux yt channel. Reason that people go crazy is because ctrl+r was very limited, if you did several times "cp <filename>" it wouldn't search further than last match until you type along. It still works like that but narrows it down to a list.

    @Tounai I made ctrl+p today. It will navigate to every project directory what i'm working on at the moment and executes "code .". So, now I have client, server and protocol project open at once. Should've make this earlier. All the time i've spent cd'ing to all those directories
