What
Stop matching history entries that don't start with the beginning of the search term.
For example,
ls
should matchls -l
but notecho ls
.Why
For one, I'm used to it being this way. I also think it makes more sense this way. The only exception I can think of right now is
sudo
but, again, I'm used to how it works and I don't think that's an issue... If a command needssudo
I'll probably havesudo <command>
typed before trying to look at what I typed last time I used that command.How
The
zsh-history-substring
