So, `up-line-or-search' is indeed active already. Isn't this what you
asked for? From the manual:
up-line-or-search Move up a line in the buffer, or if already at the top line, search backward in the history for a line beginning with the first word in the buffer.
If called from a function by the zle command with arguments, the first argument is taken as the string for which to search, rather than the first word in the buffer.
It is active, but its behavior isn't what I'd like... For example:
% vim ~/<<UPARROW>>
Here are the first 4 responses to the above line:
% vim PKGBUILD % vim build_time.txt % ~/.ssh/known_hosts % ~/bin/wake
I want zsh to only show me responses in my history that begin with 'vim ~/' so in my example above, the first two would not show up at all. Is there such a widget (without using that huge fishshell thing).
Thanks!
