Subject: ratpoison: histories should be separate

Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 19:17:47 -0600

Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: minor


The histories of the ratpoison command prompt (C-t :) and the shell
command prompt (C-t !) are shared. This doesn't make any sense.

For instance:
1. Start ratpoison.
2. Hit "C-t :" and type "resize". Hit escape.
3. Hit "C-t !" and hit the up arrow. "resize" appears, but it doesn't
belong here.

I'm not sure how much trouble it would be to store separate histories,
but I'm reporting it here because it is rather unexpected behavior.

This is just a little notification that upstream has accepted a patch
that should fix this, so in the next upstream version this should be
fixed.

Subject: ratpoison: histories should be separate

Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 10:54:30 +0200

Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

With 1.4.4-1, the original reporter's case "C-t : resize C-t ! UPARROW"
is fixed: resize appears only in the : history, not in the ! one.
However, the reverse case "C-t ! true C-t : UPARROW" still(?) presents
":exec true" as an entry in the "wrong" prompt.

Whats worse (and new in 1.4.4-1) is that using keybinds such as
| bind KP_8 exec xmms2 volume +4
will make them occur in both the ! and : histories as
| /bin/sh -c xmms2 volume +4
and
| :exec xmms2 volume +4
respectively.
This makes the history basically unusable for my use case (many keybinds
of that type, constantly using them), as any command I entered at the
promt will be buried below half a dozen keybinds the next time I'd need it,
and then retyping is faster than finding it.

So, please, make the histories only remember commands actually typed at
the prompt, not everything executed.
Thanks,
    Jan

Well, an execute is an execute. Not having to remember which prompt was
used to get back to it is a feature in my eyes. (Though this feature was
mostly added because ratpoison has only one history file and there are
at least two histories to remember).

That is indeed a bug. I've forwarded a patch to upstream. If this
gets accepted upstream, I'll add it to the Debian package.

Thanks for your report,

Ok, if that's deliberate, then fine (I find it counter-intuitive, but
that's probably just me, and no big deal).
