Read from history file at startup?

[spelufo]

With readline enabled, es is appending to my ~/.history file but doesn't load it when it starts, so the only history I can search is the one since the session start. Is there a way of making it load the rest of the history?

If you look at https://github.com/wryun/es-shell/tree/readline-history you can see it's pretty straightforward to do this with readline. Unfortunately, I haven't merged it to master yet because it needs some minor configuration tweaks (see commit message), but if you're prepared to build it yourself...

(oh, and the other issue is that doing that would probably break the odd version of editline which es supports)

Great! Thank you
