I love this shortcut in borne shell, and want to find out if it is possible to simulate and/or have (perhaps to install an add-on or with a script) it in csh or tsch

thanks

+2  A: 

Something that csh, tcsh, and even bash have is the cool ! history substitution.

% !cc

This will run the last command starting with cc

% cc !*

That supplies the parameters from the last command.

% g++ !cc:*

That finds the last command that started with cc and substitutes its parameters

% !?hello.c This finds the last command that had hello.c anywhere in it.
