Fish finally broke me of this habit, and now it's one of the first things I install on any system

Fish? Please enlighten a casual user

Friendly Interactive SHell. I also use it, and I find some of the extra features delightful. I don't think it's POSIX compliant if you're one of the two dozen people who have to worry about that for your use case.

Fish Shell - Friendly Interactive Shell. It has tons of themes and customizable prompts, but most importantly it scans through your command history and autocompletes previous commands. You can even to back through previous versions of a certain command for example I copy a couple different files a lot so I'll type 'cd' then press up to get to the specific command I need. It'll also autocomplete command names if they're in the path. It's a life changer for sure

You know how we have the bash shell by default on most Linux systems? Well there's also the fish shell you can probably find it in your repo and try it out.

One of the top reasons I use fish is that I never learned how to cycle through the results of ctrl+r in bash

Yep, me as well ☺️.

Goodbye reddit and thanks for the fish.
