I like how you can autocomplete previous commands in MATLAB by typing a few words and pressing the key. The same works in python IDLE. Is there an equivalent of that in unix shells? If it helps, I’m using csh.

You can set an alias like so:
when you type
prev foo, it searches your history for all occurrences offooand spits out a list like so:where the first column is the command number, the second is the time it was executed and the last is the command. You can re-execute the previous command by typing
!<command number>
