I am looking for a terminal emulator where I don't have to tap the up key a million times to see the old and frequent commands.
I want to be able to bookmark common commands and directories, as well as see a list of frequent and recent ones.
And yes, I am aware of aliases, but I'm looking for a middle ground.

There is an even better solution but it doesn't use anything you've asked for. If you replace your shell with zsh then you will have a history that is easy to search. You just begin typing and, instead of tabbing to auto complete, you use the up\down arrows to search your history: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/97844/46040

No GUI, but tons of new functionality for the command line (which is better since that means that you don't need to take your hand off the keyboard to work). – krowe – 2015-07-23T08:31:58.973
bash: CTRL-R and typing will search in your history. Up/down arrows will allow browsing the history... an alias might be
