long command lines

[khuongduybui]

hi Ellie, first of all thanks a lot for the awesome tool! I'm having problems browsing my history (with up key) when the command lines are longer than the terminal width, I can't see the end of it. This is particularly problematic when I'm playing with jq because my command often starts with cat ... | grep ... | sed ... | xargs ... | <a bunch of other things> | jq so by the time I get to my jq query, the command is already longer than terminal width and if I hit "up" to see what I had before, I couldn't possibly know which one is which.

thank you for the kind words! 😁

Hmm. A potential solution here would be for us to break it between multiple lines, basically just wrap when we hit the edge of the terminal

That sounds like an intuitive solution, but I haven't used tui-rs so I don't know how hard / easy it would be.

I would suggest a different approach to this- add a Preview window to the right. It would show not just the command, but also other details such as Host, Directory, etc.

This is the main thing I miss after migrating from https://github.com/m42e/zsh-histdb-fzf (includes an asciinema sample).

We have preview window support for now, below the terminal line.

We have a vision to add this. But we're tracking this elsewhere so I'm closing this issue
