hstr-rs - is shell history suggest box. Like hstr, but with pages.

[Kev]

It was initially made for bash, but it supports zsh and ksh, too. If you want to use it with tcsh, make sure tcsh saves its history to ~/.tcsh_history.

 

Installation

Make sure you have ncurses packages installed.

 

sudo apt install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5 libncursesw5-dev

 

Then run:

 

cargo install --git https://github.com/adder46/hstr-rs.git

 

If on bash, add this to .bashrc:

 

# append new history items to .bash_history
shopt -s histappend 
# don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
# increase history file size
HISTFILESIZE=1000000
# increase history size
HISTSIZE=${HISTFILESIZE}
# append new entries from memory to .bash_history, and vice-versa
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n; ${PROMPT_COMMAND}"

 

Usage

Making an alias should be the most convenient option, so you can add this to ~/.bash_aliases:

 

alias hh=hstr-rs
