# prefix seems to work for me 🤔.

Really weird, if I'm just using the standard zsh history search it shows up but not in atuin search -i

This might just be a quirk of the import script. Can you try it in a fresh terminal session to see if it shows up there?

No it still doesn't show up

Using bash and #ed commands aren't showing up for me either. I use them for temporary commands I'll be rewriting.

EDIT: Hmm, seems to be working now, not sure what happened earlier when I tried.

In bash (I don't know about other shells), we can skip history by preceding a command with a space (if it contains a password for example).

Sort of related: #70 and #350.

I can't replicate this, no matter what I try. It seems like other people can't replicate it either. We also don't have anything specific that would ignore a # prefix.

I'm going to close this for now, but happy to reopen should it occur + have a replication case we can work with!

@ellie Do you have setopt interactivecomments activated? Otherwise # is not detect as a comment by zsh. I just started with an empty .zshrc entered setopt interactivecomments and the issue is still there. Previous zsh-histdb would still store this in the history, same as zsh's built in history.

The issue is that atuin is using add-zsh-hook preexec _atuin_preexec to collect the history, I suppose zsh-histdb is using another way to hook into the history, since a command with # is never going to make it into preexec.
