    Lazy vim way I do it:

    ggVG"wY:q! followed by sudo !! then VG"wp:x

    Grab entire file and stuff it in register W

    Exit file

    Reopen sudo

    Select all and replace with register W them write

    fuck() {
    sudo $(fc -ln -1)
}

    This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention–came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.

    kmirl@tux:~$ ls /root
ls: cannot open directory '/root': Permission denied
