CHANGELOG.md

14-07-2020

• If an […] string will occur in the search query, it'll be interpreted as pattern. So that it's possible to enter as the search query e.g.: print ["a-zA-Z0-9_-] or print [^[:alpha:]], etc.

28-10-2019

• ^ – if first – matches beginning of the command's string, $ – if last – its end. So that it's possible to enter '^ls' and have only commands starting with ls matched.

25-05-2018

• Hash holding paths that shouldn't be grepped (globbed) – blacklist for slow disks, mounts, etc.:

  typeset -gA FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS
  FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/nfs1/*]=1
  FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/disk2/*]=1

13-06-2017

• Canceling search doesn't clear entered query. Change to previous behavior via:

  zstyle ":plugin:history-search-multi-word" clear-on-cancel "yes"

12-04-2017

• Page size can be relative to screen height, e.g.:

  zstyle ":history-search-multi-word" page-size "LINES/4"

05-04-2017

• 17% performance optimization

27-01-2017

• Input-driven case-sensivity of search – if your query contains capital latin letters, search will be case-sensitive

12-11-2016

• HSMW can now show context of selected history entry! Just hit Ctrl-K, video
• More performance optimizations

31-10-2016

• Newlines do not disturb the parser anymore, and are also highlighted with a dark color – video

27-10-2016

• New optimizations – 30% speed up of syntax highlighting!
• Architectural change – syntax highlighting is now computed rarely, so any possible performance problems are now solved, in advance!

24-10-2016

• Workaround for Zsh versions like 5.0.2 has been added – Ctrl-V and ESC cancel search. On such Zsh versions Ctrl-C might not work. Fully problem-free Zsh version will be the upcoming 5.3, where I have together with Zsh Hackers fully fixed the Ctrl-C issue.

22-10-2016

• Search process has been optimized by 20%! History sizes like 100000 are now supported.
• Active history entry can be underline, standout (i.e. inverse video), bold, bg=blue, etc. with the new Zstyle :plugin:history-search-multi-word / active (see Zstyles section) – video.

16-10-2016

• More optimizations of syntax highlighting (40% in total for the two days) – new video above.

15-10-2016

• The compact, already optimized (by me) zsh-syntax-highlighting part has been further optimized by 21%! Also, more tokens are highlighted – variable expressions like "${(@)var[1,3]}" (when quoted).

11-10-2016

• Syntax highlighting of history – adapted, fine crafted, small part of zsh-syntax-highlighting to color what hsmw shows:

  

20-09-2016

• Keys Page Up and Page Down work and page-wise move along history. Also, Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N move to previous and next entries.

19-09-2016

• Better immunity to zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting – home, end, left and right cursor keys now work smoothly.

25-05-2016

• Cooperation with zsh-autosuggestions plugin

• Configuration option to set page size, example use:

  zstyle ":history-search-multi-word" page-size "5"
