I have some local setup replicating what Atuin does, but I'm realizing I don't use it at all even though I thought it'd be useful, and I don't use my shell history much overall. I have an alias "aled" to edit my aliases quickly, so it's easy for me to add new ones, and that's where I put the commands I want to use regularly, or even the ones I'd like to be able to find if I ever need them again in years. It's easier to add documentation in a .zshrc than in a shell history in any case.

Global aliases (which you can use anywhere, not only at the beginning) are also nice to compose aliases with each other.

I just append #alias for my most used commands and use reverse search
