This has the advantage to keep the "alt" key pressed while pressing the "b" key repeatedly (as an example). In Terminal.app: Preferences > Settings > [profile] > Keyboard > enable "Use Option as meta key" Cheers! On Mac OS X it is possible to remap the “esc” key to the “alt” key in Terminal.app!

For some reason I wish i could do this all the time. Say I ran a grep in the previous command and I want to take that output as a $VAR and input it into the next command once I verify/see it. $ grep -H foo *.log biz.log $ vim $OUTPUT_FROM_PREV_COMMMAND How about a way to get the output of the previously completed command?

Use the ^^^ command to replace all the occurrences (which I feel is more useful, for example, when replacing filenames). Just add another ^ at the end: ^search^replace^ You forgot to mention that the ^^ command will only replace the first occurrence.
