I would type "Ctrl-R" (interactive search history starting with more
recent events), then type "trace", then type "Ctrl-R" again until I
find the command I'm looking for, in your case, 4 times. Once you
start using "Ctrl-R" you will probably never want to use "history |
grep ..." and "!..." again.

HTH,
Filipe
