Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
Possibly more universal, but there are also tools like rlwrap [1] that adds readline support to programs that don't have it. From the docs apparently the readline library ships a similar tool ootb nowadays but I haven't tried that and just noticed now when I wanted to share the rlwrap link.

A good REPL solution
Otherwise I use rlwrap, which is a general purpose readline wrapper: https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap It's pretty basic stuff, but makes basic line editing less painful, & adds history support.

Keyboard Shortcuts every Command Line Hacker should know about GNU Readline
Friends if you dont know: you can add readline support to LOTS of things, especially custom scripts and tools with a prompt by just calling the program with rlwrap.

14 great tips to make amazing CLI applications
This can be as easy as wrapping a simple stdin/stdout loop with rlwrap, all the way to using full featured TUI libraries like bubbletea (golang), textual (python) or imtui (c++).

Unable to use cltr r (readline reverse search) in R with macos
You could always use rlwrap (installable via homebrew). You would launch R with rlwrap R in that case. However, I suspect there is something else missing, because it appears that the R repl usually includes readline support. Thus my questions about installation method and OS.

Build and run Clojure projects. CLI, tools.deps and deps.edn guide
As you can see ,clj, behind the scenes, wraps a call to $bin_dir/clojure with the rlwrap tool. rlwrap provides a better command-line editing experience.

Racket with cross-platform read-line
If read-line functionality is missing from languages that provide repls or command line interpreters, rlwrap has always served me well on linux. Many distros provide their own package too.

Ask HN: Any tool for managing large and variable command lines?
In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.
Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.
"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.
"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Which command did you run 1731 days ago?
> my history is so noisy I had to find another way
The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

Z – Jump Around
You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.
I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues
