Shell History Suggest Box

UBUNTU INSTALLATION

  • install hh on Ubuntu (12.10/13.04/13.10):

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ultradvorka/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install hh

  • Configure hh:

    `hh --show-configuration >> ~/.bashrc`
    

DOWNLOAD

https://github.com/dvorka/hstr/releases

SOURCE CODE INSTALLATION

  • download distribution (project Releases section), expand the archive and install hh:

    ./configure && make && make install

  • Configure hh:

    `hh --show-configuration >> ~/.bashrc`
    

MAC OS

  • install MacPorts:

    http://www.macports.org

  • configure using:

    env CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -I/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -L/usr/lib" ./configure

  • finish the installation

    make && make install

  • Configure hh:

    `hh --show-configuration >> ~/.bashrc`
    

CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION

  • appending of the in memory history (instead of overwriting it) to .bash_history:

    shopt -s histappend

  • flushing and realoading of .bash_history in order to ensure that it is in sync with memory:

    export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n; ${PROMPT_COMMAND}"

  • binding of hh to a BASH key (e.g. to Ctrl-R):

    bind '"\C-r": "\C-ahh \C-j"'

    Ctrl-F12 would be:

    bind '"\e[24;5~":"\C-ahh \C-j"'

    To determine the character sequence emitted by a pressed key in terminal, type CTRL-v and then press the key. Check your current bindings using:

    bind -S
