I've been using this for a couple months after using McFly in zsh for over a year. I think I can say that I like it better, but the only thing I sometimes don't like is how it completely takes over your screen when you press the up arrow. I usually just want to get the previous command I entered instead of the whole searchable history (which I use Control-R to bring up), and it's really jarring to have the entire screen change. Aside from that, it's really awesome to have everything synced across a bunch of machines.

Same here, but you can disable that behaviour, and then it’s nicer [0]. I also find that I prefer the default Ctrl-R to start with history from the current directory instead of the global history, but that is also changeable. So I’m pretty happy.

  Awesome, thanks for the tip, I’ll try that.

If you're comfortable with shell scripting, you can get that today. There's code for a number of shells in this issue https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/798 https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/798 Adding it to Atuin will take a bit of work to keep it from being too brittle, so it hasn't yet been done.

You can adjust the size of the "window". I have my inline_height set to 20 and it's a bit less jarring when it pops up.

This is why I have atuin init fish --disable-up-arrow | source in my fish.config. C-r with Atuin is great. It taking up the whole screen when I want to run the previous command again? Not grat.
