Icicles provides two ways to reuse previous shell commands that match some
pattern (possibly editing them). In comint mode and derived modes such as
shell mode and inferior Lisp mode:

C-TAB - Complete your input (possibly a regexp) against
        'comint-input-ring', which can include shell commands you
        issued in previous sessions. Cycle among matches.

C-`  -  Complete your input (possibly a regexp) against previous
        shell input visible in the buffer. Cycle among matches.
        This is a search command, and it lets you use secondary
        patterns to refine matching.  If the region is active,
        only it is searched.
