>I don't use !!, or !$, because I prefer to see what command is being executed before I press enter.

I use zsh (with oh-my-zsh) and when I type e.g. "sudo !!" and press enter, it doesn't execute the command, instead it expands the !!. Another enter will then actually execute it.

I believe it's default behavior for oh-my-zsh. At least, I don't recall manually changing this.

benvd··on Google connects Play Store with Google+, reviews will feature name and picture
You're afraid people you know will be able to associate a review of a mobile app with you?

Genuine question. I really cannot fathom why that would matter.

benvd··on Use Zsh
So put your zsh config in a git repo, clone it wherever you need it and symlink to the repo?
