The caret is my new favorite metachacter, at least with bash. It simply repeats the last command making a substitution. Here are a couple of examples.

$ unzip -l somefile.zip
$ ^-l^

$ beet ls -a some album
$ ^ls^rm -df

Thanks Don! Ventoy looks exactly like what I have been trying to build and more. I can't wait until I get the time to start playing with it!
