[Bug]: Command search appending instead of executing it.

[dougg0k]

What did you expect to happen?

To run the command or at least replace the current thing written.

What happened?

Let's say I type cd and then ctrl+r to search, I find a history, till here it's fine, it's not completely accurate history btw, but that's beside the point.

If I select a command from the list and press enter, the whole command is appended to what is written already.

A cd /path/ will turn into cdcd /path/

---

Edit:

Still, on that first ctrl+r mention, it expect you to type from nothing, where it could use what is typed already to automatically give the results.

This makes 2 issues or improvements?!

I suppose it's suppose to work standalone. But even so, the bug are there.

If ctrl + o were to be the proper option, it conflicts with zellij, where zellij takes precedence over it. Not only ctrl + s also.

And probably more. https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/blob/main/zellij-utils/assets/config/default.kdl

It should have a way to customize the keybinding to fix it, I havent found it.

Besides the bug, this is also a feature request, for keybinding customization.

It would be nice to have a easy way to do it.

e.g.,

[keybindings]
name-of-the-functionality = ctrl+i

1- Replace what is already typed with the history choice coming from ctrl+r.
2- Use the already typed when pressing ctrl+r to search based on that.
3- Add keybindings customization.
