I alias "history | grep" to "hrep" and I'd bet it is one of my top 3-5 commands.

Why not find out:

  history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head

uniq seems a bit easier to understand here:

history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Why not use C-r?

This could change your life:

It's a fuzzy searcher for Ctrl-r that shows all possible results, updating as you type.

Sometimes that is what I want, but usually I want a list of all the iterations of something to cut/paste/adjust.
