bash: `history-expand-line`
TLDR; <Alt-Shift-6> expands history without running it
Bash's history expansion does things like expanding and running the previous command with !!<Enter>. Using !!<Meta-^> instead just expands the history entries inline without running them.
To type <Meta-^> try:
<Esc>^(since<Esc>metafies next character)<Alt-Shift-6>(since<Meta>is usually mapped to<Alt>)
