Is there a way to expand the !$ in command line while interactively editing the command inside shell?
For example, while I am typing ls !$, I press some button and then I see what is the value of !$.
Do you want this sequence to be treated literally, without any expansion? You may quote it with apostrophes:
'!$'UPDATE If you want to expand it before executing, you may use Ctrl-Alt-E, but beware that it would perform “word expansion” as well, so
!$ "single argument"would be expanded toexpanded_string single argument(no quotes => two arguments).You may also use Alt-_ (works in both emacs and vi modes), or Alt-. (works only in emacs mode) to just insert the last argument of the previous command directly, without any expansion.
