One thing I’d like these to do (I tried a couple and settled for zsh-histdb with the fzf integration) is to be able to annotate past commands, with a description, tags or, even better, both.
The use case I have in mind is when I end up crafting some complicated and inscrutable incantation and being able to “earmark” it for future reference with a little bit of context that FutureMe might have forgotten by the time he thinks to reach out for the history.
Put another way, I do tend to use my shell history as a scrapbook of sorts, and I wish I was able to easily write on the margins.
Please, let me know if this is already a feature of any of these tools that I’ve completely missed.
- joshka 4y agoperhaps `setopt interactivecomments` and then use comments might work?
- reddit_clone 4y agoI use Zsh + FZF and am very happy with it. My history is about 30K entries long and it handles like a champ. I use a poor mans version of the tagging you speak of. I use hashtags at the end of long commands I would like to reuse. $ <long winded shell command> #restart #remote FZF history search finds them easily.
