Hum, it seems pretty fun though if you use oh-my-zsh together with zsh , you've got a really helpful historic suggestions as you type any character, then just press up to see others commands that you have already enters and begins by the same letters.
This became essential to me , if you don't know yet, I suggest you to try it out .

However, F*ck seems to be useful for the commands that you have never entered.

It is absolute magic. Plugins for days and the best CLI experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend using autojump alongside fuck

I imagine using this tool for like 5 years and then going to on-site interview and institutively saying out the word loud after I mistaken JS array methods slice vs splice 😂😂😂

Executing it again apparently skips all unsuccessful attempts and jumps straight to the last command that is not a typo of fuck:

user@~ $ lls -la
bash: lls: command not found
user@~ $ fcuk
bash: fcuk: command not found
user@~ $ fkuc
bash: fkuc: command not found
user@~ $ fuuck
bash: fuuck: command not found
user@~ $ fccuk
bash: fccuk: command not found
user@~ $ fuck
ls -la [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
