REPL History Search

[laurentpetit]

Original issue 613 created by laurentpetit on 2014-01-27T10:05:06.000Z:

Additional to stepping through the REPL history, a search through history is important for every day work.

My attempt to implement this similar to the search in bash or in repl-y (https://github.com/trptcolin/reply) was not integrated (issue # 322).
Maybe a different implementation approach to searching the REPL history might be better but we need to have some possibility to search the REPL history together with settings to adjust the history size stored.

I set this issue to high priority since the absence of a REPL search annoys me multiple times per day.
Sadly, I have no time anymore to build this feature on my own this year. :(

The outdated pull request which implemented a pretty simple REPL search can be found here:

I am still missing the REPL search feature badly. Are there any attempts to implement something like that?

[laurentpetit]

I'm sooo sorry to have delayed finalizing your work for so long. Private things..
I'm willing to take this further and work on it.

Maybe you could help by trying to revive your PR #19 by making it in a megeable state? You can rewrite its history if you want, rebase it on top of master as well. I've not worked on it locally yet.

Even if you find out it's too much work to rebase/revive this PR, this will be an interesting knowledge.

What about that?

[guv]

I am not sure whether I'll have any time at all for that. :-/

Ok, good to know, will include it in the Todo list anyway
