We all want this but you have eat a little bit if syntax pie!
Scrolling back in history (ESC) (Uparrow) and then reditting that line is the perhaps the easiest
way.
However
> mv !?saket<TAB>
Would bring up the whole line ready for a little editting
or purist
> mv !?saket?:*<tab>
Would just bring up the parameters
If you know the history number of the line (say 5) with desired parameters you can try
> !5:s/somefile1/somefile2/
and if you don't know the history number
!?saket?:s/somefile1/somefile2/
Have I missed anything? (I surely have!)
