Or you can start typing and press up arrow to search with that. Atuin (or some Zsh extensions, etc.) fix the bad UI of having to remember a different key for "search history by order and text" and "search history by order".
replyI found atuin way too hard/slow to use, I think I went two days before I nuked it and went back to pure omzsh. Has it gotten any better in the past 2ish years?
reply(hi! I work on atuin!)
replyyes, it's improved a lot in the last couple of years! what in particular bothered you?
Not the parent commenter, but I also tried it a year or two ago and my recollection is that I had a similar experience. I have a really long history file that dates back like a decade and if remembering correctly I tried to import it, and it made using my shell very laggy so I ended up removing it. I'm not 100% positive that I'm remembering the exact way that I started experiencing the lag though, so if I have time tomorrow I'll try it out again and see if it's still something I encounter.
replyAhh yes, we’ve done a lot of performance optimisation since then. We regularly test on >1m records and have no issues
replyMake sure you’re using the daemon (the install script will handle this) and you should be good to go
Very happy to help if you have any problems. Ellie at Atuin dot sh
Good to hear! Sounds like my history file might not even be that large compared to your tests now
replyI've been using it happily for longer than that! I do remember having to tweak the default search behaviours when I first installed it but it's been largely problem free ever since.
