If you do "!se" you'll execute the most recent command that starts with the letters "se". I find I use this more than re-executing by number.

I use this one quite often but it can be the source of problems if the last command you typed beginning with that text was something that you weren't expecting. typing !my to bring up the last mysql command line session and catching "mysql <production_database_install_from_two_years_ago.sql" can be upsetting.

One that is handy to know is the replace character. Handy for typos and other things besides.
$ ls /home/user/files/long_firectory_path_to/install_files/config/blah
ls: /home/user/files/long_firectory_path_to/install_files/config/blah: No such file or directory
$ ^f^b
ls: /home/user/files/long_directory_path_to/install_files/config/blah
file1 file2
$


(Not necessarily a good example as you'll probably use path completion but you get the idea)
