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).
Heh. Sorry for not reading your first posting thoroughly enough.
From the zshcontrib(1) manual:
up-line-or-beginning-search, down-line-or-beginning-search These widgets are similar to the builtin functions up-line-or-search and down-line-or-search: if in a multiline buffer they move up or down within the buffer, otherwise they search for a history line matching the start of the current line. In this case, however, they search for a line which matches the current line up to the current cursor position, in the manner of history-beginning-search-backward and -forward, rather than the first word on the line.
So, you'd probably need something along the lines of this:
autoload -Uz up-line-or-beginning-search autoload -Uz down-line-or-beginning-search bindkey '\eOA' up-line-or-beginning-search bindkey '\e[A' up-line-or-beginning-search bindkey '\eOB' down-line-or-beginning-search bindkey '\e[B' down-line-or-beginning-search
