Utility functions to improve emacs shell.

Instalation

Dependencies

• dash

Either

• helm
• ivy

Initialising

Add all .el files to a directory and load it from emacs. Eg: you can copy everything to ~/.emacs.d/lisp/, then load this path in your init.el

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp")
;;; if you use `helm`
(require 'shutils-history-helm)
;;; if you use `ivy`
(require 'shutils-history-ivy)

;;; The following line is optional, but recommened.
;;; It makes possible to show new commands (sent from `emacs` shell) in the history's list.
;;; For dofumentation, see: https://github.com/paulojean/shutils.el/blob/master/shutils-history.el
(shutils-history/start-auto-update)

Using it

Now you can define a key sequence to load the history fuzzy finder, eg: assuming mode, you can do the following:

;;; for `helm`
(progn
  (evil-define-key 'normal shell-mode-map
    (kbd "C-r") 'shell-history-helm/show-history)
  (evil-define-key 'insert shell-mode-map
    (kbd "C-r") 'shutils-history-helm/show-history))

;;; for `ivy`
(progn
  (evil-define-key 'normal shell-mode-map
    (kbd "C-r") 'shell-history-ivy/show-history)
  (evil-define-key 'insert shell-mode-map
    (kbd "C-r") 'shutils-history-ivy/show-history))

And you can use C-r (in a shell buffer) to load the shell history (with fuzzy finder), pick a command and put it in the shell.

Alternativelly, you can just M-x shutils-history-helm/show-history from a shell buffer.
