How do you access history? One item at a time? Because if you do one task in one terminal, maybe vading through history one item at a time will then be annoying since items from everywhere else, from other tasks, will make you have to cycle a lot before you find what you look for? Not saying you are wrong, just the discussion can go both ways. I'm not a history user myself, really, but my zsh history isn't shared between tmux panes. Not in xterm, not in the Linux console. But I never gave it any thought until now. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal --- via emacs-tangents mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-tangents)
