You likely already know this, but just a reminder/tip that bash and zsh will let you edit the current command you’re entering in your editor of choice if you press ctrl+x ctrl+e (without releasing ctrl between). (Note if you’re using zsh without ohmyzsh, you’ll have to enable this manually [1])

I don't see how the shell could know whether you released the Ctrl key?


Whoops, you're right, I assumed my muscle memory was the source of truth heh.
