Rerun your last terminal command
Note: I've only used this with iTerm, but it might also work in any standard terminal emulator
- Goto iTerm Preferences -> Keys Tab
- Click the + button at the bottom of the window to add a new key command
- Pick a key combo to use to reuse the last command you entered. I use CMD+R.
- In the dropdown, change the Action to 'Send Hex Code'
- In the box below that, enter this: 0x0C 0x10 0x0d
Et voila!

Why not just use !!, which works in either bash or zsh?

A few reasons:
- This works no matter what shell you're using. I use fish myself which doesn't seem to support !! (I may be wrong!)
- Unlike !!, this clears the terminal and then reruns the last command using hex codes for UpArrow and Return so you get a clean view of the last command.
I use it mainly when running tests or repetitive commands where I need a fresh screen every time, plus a simple one touch key combo is always nice!
