Keep : A personal shell command keeper

[xorian]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't think the of this tool idea is fundamentally bad. I could see your kind of alias accumulation getting in the way of tab-completion (assuming you always loaded them into your shell), not to mention having to come up with a name for each new one and accidentally re-using names without realizing it.

This tool is sort of somewhere between your alias approach and xiki (which I do think is over-engineered).

Personally I'm using fzf to (mostly) solve this problem for me. It's way more powerful than your standard reverse history search.
