Subject: more tcsh-like history-search capability
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 20:31:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200010180031.UAA21435@soup.ql.org> (raw)
By default, zsh's history-search functions look through history for
lines whose first word starts with the first word on the command line.
I prefer to search for commands that start with the string before the
cursor.
After snarfing Bart's code to handle the literal history stuff
(zsh-workers/10996), it occurred to me that I could solve my history
search problem with zle widgets as well. This was one of the (many)
areas of zsh that I had not explored at all. Here are my trivial zle
widgets that implement history searching the way I want it.
I don't have a good name for these widgets... the q- here is the same
as the q in ql.org -- my favorite letter. (Some people don't outgrow
their favorite letters. :-])
It makes me happy to be using a shell that can be customized like
this. :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
q-history-search-backward()
{
local cursor=$CURSOR
zle .history-search-backward "$LBUFFER"
CURSOR=$cursor
}
q-history-search-forward()
{
local cursor=$CURSOR
zle .history-search-forward "$LBUFFER"
CURSOR=$cursor
}
zle -N q-history-search-backward
zle -N q-history-search-forward
bindkey "^[p" q-history-search-backward
bindkey "^[n" q-history-search-forward
