[Per-Directory-History][6]
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Per directory history for zsh, as well as global history, and the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to toggle between them with ^G.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a implementation of per directory history for zsh, some
|
|
|
|
|
implementations of which exist in bash[1][],[2][]. It also implements
|
|
|
|
|
a per-directory-history-toggle-history function to change from using the
|
|
|
|
|
directory history to using the global history. In both cases the history is
|
|
|
|
|
always saved to both the global history and the directory history, so the
|
|
|
|
|
toggle state will not effect the saved histories. Being able to switch
|
|
|
|
|
between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature as far
|
|
|
|
|
as I am aware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a standalone repository for the script, however it is also included in
|
|
|
|
|
[oh-my-zsh][4] as a plugin.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Load this script into your interactive ZSH session:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% source zsh-per-directory-history.zsh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The default mode if per directory history, interact with your history as normal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Press ^G (the Control and G keys simultaneously) to toggle between local

|
|
and global histories. If you would prefer a different shortcut to toggle
|
|
|
|
|
set the PER_DIRECTORY_HISTORY_TOGGLE environment variable.

The idea/inspiration for a per directory history is from [Stewart MacArthur][1]
|
|
|
|
|
and [Dieter][2], the implementation idea is from [Bart Schaefer][3]. The
|
|
|
|
|
implementation is by [Jim Hester][5] in September 2012.
