I know that ESC DOTEsc + . gives you the last argument of the last command.

But I'm interested in first argument of the last command. Is there a key binding to do so?

On the same lines, is there a generic way of getting the nth argument from the last command.? (I know that in a bash script, you can use $0$0, $1$1 etc., but these don't work on the commandline).

Also, what about iterating through the 0th argument of previous commands, like we can do with the last argument by continuously pressing ESC DOTEsc + .?

I know that ESC DOT gives you the last argument of the last command.
