Some terminals have a mode where you can move the cursor around the history, and allow searching / copying / pasting. Alacritty and tmux come to mind, others may also implement something similar.

It’s still annoying to move. The only way it’s practical is if you can store a regex to match container ids or whatever, and quickly fetch it

I do something that, but just parse the output of `docker ps` or whatever. Since each line has the same format it's very straightforward.

oh heh I do

    docker ps -a | grep image_name_or_whatever | awk1 | pbcopy (or xclip on linux)

(awk1 is an alias for awk "{print $1}" and I just have awk1-10 or whatever)

to grab the container id and put it on the clipboard
