Reuse arguments from last command
Posted on 22 Mar, 2022
<command> !*
<command> !$
If you want a single argument from a list of arguments from the previous command, you can use !!:
Example:
ls foo/ bar/ baz/
ls !:2 # Gives the results of ls bar/
ls foo/ bar/ baz/
ls !:1 # Gives the results of ls foo/
Index of shortcuts:
!^ first argument
!$ last argument
!* all arguments
!:2 second argument
!:2-3 second to third arguments
!:2-$ second to last arguments
!:2* second to last arguments
!:2- second to next to last arguments
!:0 the command
!! repeat the previous line
<command> Esc.: To get last argument of previous command
