This is easily achieved using a fish function: https://github.com/nyarly/fish-bang-bang

Unlike bash, fish even expands it in place, allowing you to make changes.

zsh also expands in place for double bang, as well as the ^match^replace thing, too. Probably others, but those are the only ones I use regularly.

I missed it too, so I created a fish function:

``` function sudo if test "$argv" = !! eval command sudo $history[1] else command sudo $argv end end ```

This works for `sudo !!`

Up, Home, "sudo "

Only one more key press than "sudo !" :)

I use up, ctrl-a, then type "sudo ".

!! and !$ are the two miss most.

but similarly, fish user for the last 2+ years.

With !$ you can use Alt+. to write the arguments from the last command.

Alt+. is a bash (libreadline really) key.

In fish Alt+Up does something similar, but repeated presses iterates over all words of all commands rather than last words of bash commands. A big improvement is you can type some chars first and then Alt+Up only gets words matching this substring — like Up but word granularity! (Closest bash key is Ctrl+Alt+I)

If you don't mind the differences, and want Alt+. muscle memory to work in fish too, do:

    bind \e. history-token-search-backward

(plus Alt+Up doesn't work for me in linux console, Alt+. does)
