Wild idea: after pressing arrow up 4 times it should display 10 next history entries #110

Closed curusarn closed 1 year ago

curusarn commented 4 years ago

Description

1) pressing arrow_up 3 times -> normal behaviour 2) pressing it Nth time -> very similar behavior but 10 history entries are shown

Motivation

Many people I have observed press arrow up many times with the hope that "the command has to be there" or "it has to be the next one".

Observing workflows of people also shows that we press arrow up when we want recent history entries even when the command is not that recent.

Showing the next 10 commands will preserve the workflow of recalling recent history entries but will allow us to quickly scan the results and tell if the history entry is there or not. This could help us:

Additionally, the larger view could include a few carefully selected features.

Arrow up features were removed completely in #184

The point of removing the features is to make the project more maintainable to allow faster improvements of features that matter.
