CLI Magic: Using command history in the bash shell (Linux.com)
If the histverify option (set with shopt) is set, you don't need to use the # trick. Any command you type using history expansion (with !) will be recalled to the prompt for checking and editing before it is executed - hit Return to execute it. In other words, if my history looks like:
540 cat SQ9285.txt
541 ls Documents/
542 history
and I type:
rm !540:1
and hit Return, then I get:
rm SQ9285.txt
with the cursor positioned at the end of the line.
