Thanks for the response. If I press shift + tab then I get a kind of search
dialogue (which looks great!) for various possible commands but related to
what's on the system rather than what is in my history. I am sorry if
wasn't clear, I was hoping to learn how to navigate my command history in a
manner which feels consistent whether I'm going for the last command I ran
or one before that.

My issue at the moment is that it feels like it is a different key to get
to & run the last command versus getting to & running the second to last
command.

Thanks again,
Michael
