you can get a lot of the way there with Control+R reverse history search (mentioned in the article) -- and it's interactive. With fzf
you can even get fuzzy history searching (the first search result has a video). atuin
puts history into a proper db, optional syncs across hosts, and, like fzf, enhances control+r

I get not wanting to find yourself in the crosshairs of IT policy people. And more so, having reverence for security measures. But, at least for the enterprise software I interact with, I don't see security implications and don't feel the effort to be frictionless is symmetric. I see the opposite. Policies increase insecure behavior and are obstacles to my job.
Methinks those making purchase and policy decisions are not those who interact with the consequences (use the software in anger). I've been on the receiving end of some sales pitches -- the users are often an afterthought, not a priority. It's hard to respect the spirit (if not the letter) of bad policies, especially when the polices are hostile to me-the-user and getting-my-job-done.
Currently grinding my gears: Why are we using MS Teams? Why does Teams block firefox (and safari, based on user-agent of all things!)? Why is IMAP disabled?
yeah! davmail provides a LDAP bridge for contact lookup. There's a guide for setting up Thunderbird to use it
Give the aforementioned davmail main page a look! The diagram does a pretty good job showing it's capabilities. Among other services, davmail bridges to LDAP (contacts) and calDav (calendar) too!
I pull my work outlook calendar and personal google with vdirsync and khal on laptop and desktop.
doesn't have to be outlook! davmail (configured with the outlook client id) can provide an imap bridge for mbsync, thunderbird, etc to access in even the most restrictive O365 environments.

Does ReactOS already support the newest office and Photoshop out of the box!?
MS Office 2021 is garbage but at least 2016 and O365 Home (32-bit) are both silver. The linked Photoshop CC 2023 is also silver. That already seems like an impressive feat by the wine team.
I have a bash function in
fuzzy_arg
that I bind to Alt-a to uses fzf for interactively inserting arguments from previous commands. It's Ctrl-r for Alt-. -- I've found it super useful for essentially inserting partial commands (single arguments) from the history
