And you can hook in fzf to it to get a proper list of previous commands all fuzzy matched!! Oh-my-zsh just requires adding fzf to your plugins list (:

Lots of people don’t know. Just like ctrl+r to substring search your command history in bash.
I seriously pity people who don’t know ctrl+r that is one of the most important tools for productivity on the cli.
