Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Ctrl+Space for Search, Ctrl+B for bookmark. Keybindings are all customizable. Dynamic shell suggestions. Discovers commands from local directories. Create command templates with variables. In-line or TUI modes. Integrates with multiple shells and works cross-platform.

Tradeoffs

It’s shell command search, not history - they work well together e.g. with Atuin.
