History

Sets history options and defines history aliases.

Note: Default path of HISTFILE has changed from ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory to ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history. The file will be automatically renamed if possible (when the new one doesn't exist). Otherwise, if you want to preserve previous history, you will need to move them from ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory to ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history.

Alternately, you can set HISTFILE manually to ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory.

Options

BANG_HIST treats the ! character specially during expansion.
EXTENDED_HISTORY writes the history file in the :start:elapsed;command format.
SHARE_HISTORY shares history between all sessions. Note that SHARE_HISTORY, INC_APPEND_HISTORY, and INC_APPEND_HISTORY_TIME are mutually exclusive.
HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST expires a duplicate event first when trimming history.
HIST_IGNORE_DUPS does not record an event that was just recorded again.
HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS deletes an old recorded event if a new event is a duplicate.
HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS does not display a previously found event.
HIST_IGNORE_SPACE does not record an event starting with a space.
HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS does not write a duplicate event to the history file.
HIST_VERIFY does not execute immediately upon history expansion.
HIST_BEEP beeps when accessing non-existent history.

Variables

HISTFILE stores the path to the history file.
