hello, sorry

What does
localectl status
say

   System Locale: LANG=en_SG.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: us

This is fish, not supporting history expansion.
See eg

If it is really importante, you should change Shell. For sure bash does it.

Is that the language you use as

defaults to us if that is not loaded by systemd

oh what, i didnt know fish didnt have it, since ive used dragonized version of garuda before, i thought it used fish and it worked fine using it, didnt know it didnt support it

You see also here. It's a very old discussion, still with recent "mentions", i e. links in other issues.

oh i see now, garuda dragonized uses oh my fish using the bang-bang plugin, thats how they managed to do it, thank you for the help, i managed to fix the issue

Have a look at our fish config, it contains a function needed to use "!!" :slight_smile:

BTW. From Download Page.

Garuda Linux KDE lite is made for users who do not want extra software and functionalities and complain about bloat. It contains only the bare minimum of packages needed to get started. (You are on your own, we do not provide any support for KDE lite editions!)

We mark the solution here, not the implementation.
Thanks :slight_smile:

On KDE lite, ~/.config/fish/config.fish starts off as an empty file. The fully-loaded config is available in the skeleton and you can just copy it over:

cp /etc/skel/.config/fish/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.fish

This file contains the function you are looking for:

# Functions needed for !! and !$ https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang
 function __history_previous_command
   switch (commandline -t)
   case "!"
     commandline -t $history[1]; commandline -f repaint
   case "*"
     commandline -i !
   end
 end
  
function __history_previous_command_arguments
   switch (commandline -t)
   case "!"
     commandline -t ""
     commandline -f history-token-search-backward
   case "*"
     commandline -i '$'

After that, the function works fine (no plugins necessary).
