I will die on the hill of bash + atuin & ble.sh being absolute peak.
Atuin is a shell-history tool that stores detailed shell history in Sqlite, and provides a TUI + fuzzy search to query it efficiently. Optional and self-hostable cross-machine sync is available too, with E2E encryption.
Ble.sh is a bash-enhancement suite that provides autocomplete, syntax highlighting, multi-line editing, etc.
You can test them both out in under 5 minutes, and uninstall them just as easily if they aren’t your cuppa. Singular warning: install ble.shbefore atuin, since atuin will use a different, buggier pre-exec dependency if ble.sh is not present.
I also use ble.sh and I’m happy about it. Didn’t want to install altshells because sometimes stuff I install includes instructions on what to add to bashrc to make it work, and other times programs might rely on bashrc being used and even put something there automatically, which is ofc a terrible practice, but it happens. Not ever having to translate commands/config from bash to another shell is a big win for me. I mostly use just a simple history-based autocomplete in ble.sh.

ble.shis getting automatically converted into a link in my comment , and I’m not sure how to stop that w/o side effects. But the correct URLs are https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh & https://atuin.sh/.I also use ble.sh and I’m happy about it.
