# This is a implementation of per directory history for zsh, some # implementations of which exist in bash[1,2]. It also implements # a per-directory-history-toggle-history function to change from using the # directory history to using the global history. In both cases the history is # always saved to both the global history and the directory history, so the # toggle state will not effect the saved histories. Being able to switch # between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature as far # as I am aware. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Configuration #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # HISTORY_BASE a global variable that defines the base directory in which the # directory histories are stored # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # History #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # The idea/inspiration for a per directory history is from Stewart MacArthur[1] # and Dieter[2], the implementation idea is from Bart Schaefer on the the zsh # mailing list[3]. The implementation is by Jim Hester in September 2012. # # [1]: http://www.compbiome.com/2010/07/bash-per-directory-bash-history.html # [2]: http://dieter.plaetinck.be/per_directory_bash # [3]: http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/1997/msg00226.html # ################################################################################ # # Copyright (c) 2012 Jim Hester # # This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty. # In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages arising from the # use of this software. # # Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose, # including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it # freely, subject to the following restrictions: # # 1.
