Is there a command or log to let you see your recent terminal commands?
I have some cut and paste output, valuable, on my desktop regarding recent troubleshooting....and I forgot the command I used. I just copied the output. Is this all in a sys log?
Consider this the opposite of urgent. Thank you.

terminal: history
bingo.
wow.
found the lsusb commands, thank you.
MODS: SOLVED or BURN AFTER READING

brent .bash_history in your Home directory gives the same output I learned you can see hidden files with ctrl+h or opening the terminal in the area and writing ls -a
glad it helped. I had similar worries with checking my installed package history 😃

thanks for all that cut and paste alternate commands.
what I love about linux is there are always many ways to skin a cat....(to use a barbaric 19th century colloquialism🙂)

Note that ctrl + r lets you search your history. A very nice improvement of this (imho) comes with fzf (in the repo)

Ctrl+Shift+F offers a human-friendly search in nearly all terminals, similar to searches in simple text editors and browsers.
