# Introduction Binds `Ctrl-R` to a widget that searches for multiple keywords in `AND` fashion. In other words, you can enter multiple words, and history entries that match all of them will be found. The entries are syntax highlighted. Video – view on [asciinema](https://asciinema.org/a/88954). You can resize the video by pressing `Ctrl-+` or `Cmd-+`. [![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/88954.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/88954) HSMW is **FAST** – highlighting 20 concurrent complex history entries does not cause real slow down: [![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/89406.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/89406) # News * 27-01-2017 - Input-driven case-sensivity of search – if your query contains capital latin letters, search will be case-sensitive * 12-11-2016 - HSMW can now show context of selected history entry! Just hit `Ctrl-K`, [video](https://asciinema.org/a/92516) - More performance optimizations * 31-10-2016 - Newlines do not disturb the parser anymore, and are also highlighted with a dark color – [video](https://asciinema.org/a/91159) * 27-10-2016 - New optimizations – **30%** speed up of syntax highlighting! - Architectural change – syntax highlighting is now computed rarely, so any possible performance problems are now solved, in advance! * 24-10-2016 - Workaround for Zsh versions like 5.0.2 has been added – **Ctrl-V** and **ESC** cancel search. On such Zsh versions Ctrl-C might not work. Fully problem-free Zsh version will be the upcoming 5.3, where I have together with Zsh Hackers fully fixed the Ctrl-C issue. * 22-10-2016 - Search process has been optimized by 20%! History sizes like 100000 are now supported. - Active history entry can be `underline`, `standout` (i.e. inverse video), `bold`, `bg=blue`, etc. with the new Zstyle `:plugin:history-search-multi-word / active` (see Zstyles section) – [video](https://asciinema.org/a/90214). * 16-10-2016 - More optimizations of syntax highlighting (40% in total for the two days) – new video above. * 15-10-2016 - The compact, already optimized (by me) [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting) part has been further optimized by 21%! Also, more tokens are highlighted – variable expressions like `"${(@)var[1,3]}"` (when quoted). * 11-10-2016 - Syntax highlighting of history – adapted, fine crafted, **small** part of [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting) to color what `hsmw` shows: ![syntax highlighting](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img921/1503/bMAF59.gif) * 20-09-2016 - Keys Page Up and Page Down work and page-wise move along history. Also, `Ctrl-P`, `Ctrl-N` move to previous and next entries. * 19-09-2016 - Better immunity to [zsh-autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) and [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting) – home, end, left and right cursor keys now work smoothly. * 25-05-2016 - Cooperation with [zsh-autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) plugin - Configuration option to set page size, example use: ```zsh zstyle ":history-search-multi-word" page-size "5" ``` # Installation **The plugin is "standalone"**, which means that only sourcing it is needed. So to install, unpack `history-search-multi-word` somewhere and add ```zsh source {where-hsmw-is}/history-search-multi-word.plugin.zsh ``` to `zshrc`. If using a plugin manager, then `Zplugin` is recommended, but you can use any other too, and also install with `Oh My Zsh` (by copying directory to `~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins`). ### [Zplugin](https://github.com/psprint/zplugin) Add `zplugin load psprint/history-search-multi-word` to your `.zshrc` file. Zplugin will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh. ### Antigen Add `antigen bundle psprint/history-search-multi-word` to your `.zshrc` file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh. You can also add the plugin to a running zsh with `antigen bundle psprint/history-search-multi-word` for testing before adding it to your `.zshrc`. ### Oh-My-Zsh 1. `cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins` 2. `git clone git@github.com:psprint/history-search-multi-word.git` 3. Add `history-search-multi-word` to your plugin list ### Zgen Add `zgen load psprint/history-search-multi-word` to your .zshrc file in the same place you're doing your other `zgen load` calls in. # Customizing ## Zstyles ```zsh zstyle ":history-search-multi-word" page-size "8" # Number of entries to show (default is $LINES/3) zstyle ":history-search-multi-word" highlight-color "fg=yellow,bold" # Color in which to highlight matched, searched text (default bg=17 on 256-color terminals) zstyle ":plugin:history-search-multi-word" synhl "yes" # Whether to perform syntax highlighting (default true) zstyle ":plugin:history-search-multi-word" active "underline" # Effect on active history entry. Try: standout, bold, bg=blue (default underline) zstyle ":plugin:history-search-multi-word" check-paths "yes" # Whether to check paths for existence and mark with magenta (default true) ``` ## Syntax highlighting Syntax highlighting is customized via `HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES` associative array. It has keys like `reserved-word`, `alias`, `command`, `path`, which are assigned with strings like `fg=blue,bold`, to configure how given elements are to be colored. If you assign this array before loading `hsmw` you will change the defaults. Complete list of available keys is [at the beginning](https://github.com/psprint/history-search-multi-word/blob/master/hsmw-highlight#L34-L62) of `hsmw-highlight` file. Example `~/.zshrc` addition that sets `path` key – paths that exist will be highlighted with background magenta, foreground white, bold: ```zsh typeset -gA HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[path]="bg=magenta,fg=white,bold" ``` Following code will enable coloring of options of form "-o" and "--option", with cyan: ```zsh typeset -gA HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[single-hyphen-option]="fg=cyan" HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[double-hyphen-option]="fg=cyan" ``` Following code will use 256 colors to highlight command separators (like ";" or "&&"): ```zsh HSMW_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[commandseparator]="fg=241,bg=17" ``` # IRC Channel Channel `#zplugin@freenode` is a support place for all author's projects.
