Atuin (by @ellie@hachyderm.io) makes the history storage and management side much easier and portable, but could perhaps use a "smite mode" to make deletion interactively easier. The current interactive implementation prioritizes safety over expediency which is fine, but a "today I clean things" option could perhaps instead prioritize the other way around and enable one key delete w/ undo instead.

Is this some sort of bash/zsh joke that I'm too fish to understand?
Okay I can see how curating could work. But if you're lazy like me, I recommend this:

I might try this. Normally would just pipe history into grep to search or scroll till I found the right command. Also
smiteis a great name for that function.-
I use ctrl-r.

Excellent, thanks

Right, I was starting to think "Oh yeah and maybe I could fzf history..." then wait, I already do that
reverse-i-searchthen edit. If I use that often enough, alias in ~/.bashrc or even function to make it composable.

I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.
For example, I run:
longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something usefulUsually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain "
# keep") in your history to remove or keep.We are same. I sometimes use comments as kind of tags, like
xinput --disable $(xinput --list | grep -i touchpad | grep 'id=[0-9]\+' -o | cut -d= -f2) # Disable synaptic touchpad trackpad pointeror
python3 -c 'from ctypes import *; X11 = cdll.LoadLibrary("libX11.so.6"); X11.XOpenDisplay.restype = POINTER(c_ubyte); display = X11.XOpenDisplay(None); X11.XkbLockModifiers(display, c_uint(0x0100), c_uint(2), c_uint(0)); X11.XCloseDisplay(display)' # swap caps CAPS CAPSLOCKor sometimes I'll add
