3 # This is a clean-room implementation of the Fish[1] shell's history search
4 # feature, where you can type in any part of any previously entered command
5 # and press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to cycle through the matching commands.
7 #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 # 1. Load this script into your interactive ZSH session:
13 # % source history-substring-search.zsh
15 # If you want to use the zsh-syntax-highlighting[6] script along with this
16 # script, then make sure that you load it *before* you load this script:
18 # % source zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
19 # % source history-substring-search.zsh
21 # 2. Type any part of any previous command and then:
23 # * Press the UP arrow key to select the nearest command that (1) contains
24 # your query and (2) is older than the current command in the command
27 # * Press the DOWN arrow key to select the nearest command that (1)
28 # contains your query and (2) is newer than the current command in the
31 # * Press ^U (the Control and U keys simultaneously) to abort the search.
33 # 3. If a matching command spans more than one line of text, press the LEFT
34 # arrow key to move the cursor away from the end of the command, and then:
36 # * Press the UP arrow key to move the cursor to the line above. When the
37 # cursor reaches the first line of the command, pressing the UP arrow
38 # key again will cause this script to perform another search.
40 # * Press the DOWN arrow key to move the cursor to the line below. When
41 # the cursor reaches the last line of the command, pressing the DOWN
42 # arrow key again will cause this script to perform another search.
44 #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
46 #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
48 # This script defines the following global variables. You may override their
49 # default values only after having loaded this script into your ZSH session.
51 # * HISTORY_SUBSTRING_SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_FOUND is a global variable that defines
52 # how the query should be highlighted inside a matching command. Its default
53 # value causes this script to highlight using bold, white text on a magenta
54 # background. See the "Character Highlighting" section in the zshzle(1) man
55 # page to learn about the kinds of values you may assign to this variable.
57 # * HISTORY_SUBSTRING_SEARCH_HIGHLIGHT_NOT_FOUND is a global variable that
58 # defines how the query should be highlighted when no commands in the
59 # history match it. Its default value causes this script to highlight using
60 # bold, white text on a red background. See the "Character Highlighting"
61 # section in the zshzle(1) man page to learn about the kinds of values you
62 # may assign to this variable.
64 # * HISTORY_SUBSTRING_SEARCH_GLOBBING_FLAGS is a global variable that defines
65 # how the command history will be searched for your query. Its default value
66 # causes this script to perform a case-insensitive search. See the "Globbing
67 # Flags" section in the zshexpn(1) man page to learn about the kinds of
68 # values you may assign to this variable.

74 # This script was originally written by Peter Stephenson[2], who published it
75 # to the ZSH users mailing list (thereby making it public domain) in September
76 # 2009. It was later revised by Guido van Steen and released under the BSD
77 # license (see below) as part of the fizsh[3] project in January 2011.
79 # It was later extracted from fizsh[3] release 1.0.1, refactored heavily, and
80 # repackaged as both an oh-my-zsh plugin[4] and as an independently loadable
81 # ZSH script[5] by Suraj N. Kurapati in 2011.
83 # It was further developed[4] by Guido van Steen, Suraj N. Kurapati, Sorin
84 # Ionescu, and Vincent Guerci in 2011.
