There's a lot more than just "r".  You can do
  "set -o vi" or "set -o emacs" to get character-based editing on command
lines--you can scroll back and forth through past commands as well as edit
the current command.

You can also set an external editor for command lines, including, with a
little work, qedit or editor.pub.sys.

You can search through past commands for patterns:
  history | grep march

Type "help fc" for information
