Start in global history mode? #20

Closed IgnusG closed 6 years ago

IgnusG commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to start the shell with the global mode on and only switch to the directory specific one with the keyboard shortcut?

I usually use the global history but it would be helpful to sometimes only see what I executed in a certain directory, where this plugin would come in handy.

Thanks for the help!

You can call _per-directory-history-set-global-history after sourcing the script and it would change to global history.

Perfect! Thanks a lot ;)

For anyone stumbling upon this years later, this seems to be supported out of the box now with the variable HISTORY_START_WITH_GLOBAL, e.g. export HISTORY_START_WITH_GLOBAL=true
