Added "accept-to-edit" for (Back)Space / Home / Left #2000
Conversation
The above keys edit the selected command (as with hitting Tab), but like if using them in the shell. They only trigger when the search input is currently empty, and must be enabled individually with the respective boolean config options: * exit_with_backspace: right-trim command and remove last character * exit_with_space: right-trim and append a space character * exit_with_home: start editing at position 0 * exit_with_cursor_left: right-trim and start editing at last character * exit_positions_cursor: enable cursor positioning for Home and Left keys (bash-only) Updated bash init to support cursor positioning. For other shells, Home and Left keys will behave like Tab. Resolves atuinsh#1906

I think it's possible with Zsh. The text before the cursor position can be stored in LBUFFER, and the text after the cursor position can be stored in RBUFFER

Thanks for the pointer. I'll have a look at L/RBUFFER and zsh.

I agree. Just looking at my changes, you'd probably also want to add Ctrl-W, Ctrl-Left, and who knows what else...being able to achieve the same via some kind of configuration would be much nicer than having to change code. Looking through #193 it seems #1763 also had the same kind of feature in mind ("accept-to-edit" keys). |
