Command History
Chau7 provides arrow-key command history navigation with per-tab and global history, backed by persistent SQLite storage.
What is Command History in Chau7?
Command History in Chau7 provides arrow-key-based navigation through previously executed commands, similar to shell up/down arrow behavior. Chau7's CommandHistoryManager maintains both per-tab history and global history across all tabs.
Commands are recorded from terminal session activity and stored persistently in a SQLite database via PersistentHistoryStore. Duplicate entries are automatically skipped to keep history clean.
How does Chau7 store command history?
Chau7 uses a SQLite database for persistent command history storage via PersistentHistoryStore. Commands are recorded from terminal session activity and persist across app restarts.
Chau7 maintains its own history database rather than reading shell history files like ~/.zsh_history or ~/.bash_history. This means Chau7's history is independent of the shell you use.
Does Chau7 have per-tab command history?
Yes. Chau7's CommandHistoryManager provides both per-tab history and global history. Per-tab history lets you navigate commands specific to the current tab using arrow keys.
Global history provides access to commands from all tabs. This is useful when you need to recall a command you ran in a different tab earlier in the session.
How does command history search work in Chau7?
Chau7's PersistentHistoryStore provides substring search using SQL LIKE queries. This means you can search for any text that appears anywhere in a previously executed command.
Duplicate entries are automatically skipped to keep search results clean and relevant.
Does Chau7 command history persist across restarts?
Yes. Chau7 stores command history in a SQLite database that persists across app restarts. Commands recorded from terminal session activity are available in future sessions.
This persistent storage is independent of your shell's history mechanism. Even if you clear your shell history, Chau7's history remains intact.
