If you have to fiddle with the command line, you're doing it wrong.
It drives us nuts in the Plan9 community that Bash history and readline is seen as some sort of productivity tool. We have powerful shell primitives but the command line is seen as the last resort of composing them. Admittedly we have a terminal window with which you can edit text in two dimensions but use a proper set of tools with a bit of forethought and you get much more done.
If you need an oauth client, write one with a few bits of script and use it everywhere. It's the Unix way.

I don't understand what this means, can you explain?
I personally have a .bash_profile (more generally, a collection of dot files) in a git repo that I share between machines. I also find myself using Meta-. and CTRL-R quite frequently.
