  1. history expansion character: Defines the start of a history expansion. Default value: !.
  2. quick substitution character: The character, which starts a substitution, when it’s first on a line. Default value: ^.
  3. end-of-line comment character (optional): The character, where an end-of-line comment begins. Default value: #

Examples

# here comes the quick substitution 
# to replace "hello" of the previous 
# command with "hello world" and run it
