Worth noting that `ssh[up]` isn't available by default in bash nor zsh — though it wouldn't surprise me if helpers such as oh-my-zsh enables it for you. `ssh[up]` is certainly an awesome feature — though (perhaps sadly) not default behavior.

If you want to make sure you do not execute commands you did not intend to, the section linked below is a great start:

You may also look into `magic-space` which makes the expansion of event-designators happen inline, I thought about including it but the article felt long even without it.

Thanks for reading the article, I hope it was a worthwhile read even with alternate workflows elsewhere!

Thanks for the tips. These days I don’t use sh derivatives as my primary shell and the shell I do use has a few features to make command search more ergonomic and safer. But these are useful tips nonetheless
