> for something like docker commands, there's just no easy way to copy a specific container ID without using the mouse
Some terminals have a mode where you can move the cursor around the history, and allow searching / copying / pasting. Alacritty and tmux come to mind, others may also implement something similar.
It’s still annoying to move. The only way it’s practical is if you can store a regex to match container ids or whatever, and quickly fetch it
I do something that, but just parse the output of `docker ps` or whatever. Since each line has the same format it's very straightforward.
oh heh I do
(awk1 is an alias for awk "{print $1}" and I just have awk1-10 or whatever)
to grab the container id and put it on the clipboard
