Track tty in histdb #73

Closed withnale closed 4 years ago

withnale commented 4 years ago

Can we have tty tracking in histdb as well?

Sometimes I want to find the current tab I'm using based on the command. If I know what tab I'm in, I can send a bell to it, and easily find it.

If you write a pull request I might accept it. If I don't, I can promise that I will make few changes so it will be easy to keep merged on your end.

Alternatively you can probably cobble a tiny thing together yourself like this (untested, entirely off the top of my head)

# .. rest of your rc file ..
_histdb_init
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/tty-for
echo "$TTY" > "~/.zsh/tty-for/${HISTDB_SESSION}"
zshexit () { rm -f "~/.zsh/tty-for/${HISTDB_SESSION}" }
alert-session () { echo -e "\a\a" > $(cat ~/.zsh/tty-for/$1) }

or something.

Then you can just use the existing session numbers.

Actually I think this is better than putting it in the DB. Thanks
