Remaining in the history buffer and writing to the history file seems
to be linked together. You can however use the zshaddhistory()
function to exclude things based on shellcode.

zshaddhistory() {
  [[ $1 != "display ~/pron/*" ]]
}

I tried using fc -p, print -s, but no way i could think of stopped
writing things to the history file while also keeping it in the local
history buffer.
