Use [!](/help/commands/bang-caret/) to repeat the last command typed at the keyboard.

Use [^](/help/commands/bang-caret/) to replace a string from the last command with a new string.  The
syntax is the same as in unix: "^old-string^replacement"

Examples:

  > tell rasmusse Hi there, how are you?
  No-one by that name here.

  > ^rasmusse^rasmussen
  You tell Rasmussen, 'Hi there, how are you?'

  > ^you^you doing^
  You tell Rasmussen, 'Hi there, how are you doing?'
