Hi all,
I'm new xmonad user (been using it for 2 months) and one feature I am missing is searching in the prompt history.
I use various prompts like Man, Ssh, Shell and Window and in addition to going through the history line by line I would like to be able to type a few characters, press some key (e.g. Ctrl+Up) and the prompt would seek to the first such occurence in the prompt history. For those of you who know ion, that is it[*]
Is it possible in xmonad? As I am not a programmer, I just craft my xmonad.hs by copying parts of setup I find on the internet without really understanding them - either they work or they don't. So far I did not find anything resembling this functionality.
It is certainly possible to add, if the existing prompt module doesn't support it. I've been pondering what a google chrome-like combined completion/history/search might look like, as well. -- Don
