[NTLUG:Discuss] HOW? bash shell shortcut using history | grep

[Richard Geoffrion]

I saw someone retrieve a previously entered command by doing a 

 history | grep {command} ... then getting the number..then typing in the number and hitting some key to make the command pop onto the command line? 

What did he do?  What keystroke did he use?
