Feature Requst: Command-only history mode

Open gergesh opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

A launch or config option that, when active, will only suggest comletion for commands (i.e. a single word) and not the entire phrase from the history file.

Please be more precise/verbose in what you want. To avoid misunderstanding.

If I were to start rofi normally and type "chrom", I'd get a suggestion for "chromium --no-proxy-server" However, if I had launched rofi with the --command-history mode and typed "chrom", I'd only get autocompleted to "chromium". Anything beyond that (the program) is not suggested.

This one is confusing. You can disable history to not see older completely commands for run, that would mostly do what been asked here.

This command would also be very difficult to implement in a generic method that works for all modes. I think its better to make a small custom script mode that does what you want.
