What shell does scrollback_lines_to_serialize support? #3463

Closed sgon00 closed 2 days ago

sgon00 commented 2 days ago

Hi, the doc doesn't say what shell scrollback_lines_to_serialize support. I found out the bash shell scrollback could be restored, but my nushell scrollback were not restored. Just to check if it only supports Bash shell and any other shells? if so, the doc should be updated about this info. Thanks a lot.

All shells are supported as long as they use the native terminal scrollback (afaik all shells do this).

I type nu to enter nushell. When I restore session, the pane only asks me to re-run the command nu. That's all. I lost all nushell scrollback history. So what should I do to restore nushell? Thanks a lot.

You should not "start nu" manually. It should be your default shell. Either true default (but I’m not sure they advertise for that for the same reason fish does not advertise for that) or by configuring nu as the default in zellij:

In "~/.config/zellij/config.kdl", set

// Choose the path to the default shell that zellij will use for opening new panes // Default: $SHELL // default_shell "nu"

Thanks for the tip. I tried to set nushell as default_shell. The scrollback restore works randomly and partially. I don't know how to express the problem clearly and actually I don't know the problem pattern either. It seems the first resotre works, but the second resotre only works in the first tab. Something like that. Anyway, I am closing this issue for now.
