sync history between sessions without entering 'history' command

sync history between sessions without entering 'history' command

My .zshrc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY SHARE_HISTORY
setopt APPEND_HISTORY
setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
HISTFILE=$HOME/.zhistory
HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=1000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I have multiple sessions opened, each session could only see its local
history until I enter 'history' or 'fc -R' command in any session. So, I
need enter 'fc -R' from time to time to sync-up history. It's quite
annoying. Any way to make history sync happen automatically ?

Aren't INC_APPEND_HISTORY and APPEND_HISTORY mutually exclusive? Try 
commenting out the latter.

I've commented out 'append_history'. But still the same.

>From the documentation, it sounds like SHARE_HISTORY is the option you 
want.  What happens if you remove INC_APPEND_HISTORY as well (and 
EXTENDED_HISTORY, too?)?  It sounds like you might not want those set 
explicitly.

>From man zshoptions:
"""

SHARE_HISTORY <K>

This option both imports new commands from the history file, and also 
causes your typed commands to be appended to the history file (the latter 
is like specifying INC_APPEND_HISTORY).  The history lines are also output 
with timestamps ala EXTENDED_HISTORY (which makes it easier to find the 
spot where we left off reading the file after it gets re-written).
