# Description: Fuzzy find a command from history,
#              edit in $EDITOR and run as a command
#
# Note: Supports only bash, zsh and fish history

# TODO: For zsh there's also $ZDOTDIR which might need to be checked as well for the -z $HISTFILE && -n $ZDOTDIR case.
#
# Shell: POSIX compliant
