hello, history expansion is quite the powerful syntax for re-executing
commands from history with various functionalities for automatic
transformation. Since it happens before alias expansion it is not possibile
to simplify the access to these functionalities though, and one have to
remember and type every time the right syntax, and in case of error you
have to type everything again.
Is that it or am I missing some way to reuse it?
I have just thought of a custom widget that could add to $BUFFER a history
command of one's choice, are there other ways?
