doesn’t work for me (using fish) and is apparantly only available in bash; would you call that then a command?
Right, the ^search^replace is a Bash feature. It is a builtin command, like echo or cd in example. Just because a command is not available to any other shell or if its not an independent program, does not make it not a command (in my opinion).
However I agree its a little bit out of place here. A note that its a builtin and not universally available to every shell would have been nice in such a listing.

at is also not a built-in but an external tool you have to install first; but its an interesting one.

just for the sake of being pedantic:
echois actually a program (just likels)cdthough is indeed a command. And I agree with your last statement.echois a program, but some shells like Bash and zsh also have a built-inecho. You can runtype echoto verify that.whelp… i tried to be pedantic and then got schooled. Thanks :D
In Bash
echois a builtin command. The external indipendent/usr/bin/echois only used by non Bash shells.whelp… i tried to be pedantic and then got schooled. Thanks :D
Well, you was not wrong though. Because it is both. I just forgot it, so you schooled me too. :-) We can have it all! :D
very sympathetic of you <3
