Command history

[ibrokemypie]

Feature request to be able to scroll through command history when in command mode like in a terminal. Additional functionality of fuzzy matching typed characters with history (al la zsh) and tab completion would be awesome too, but less important

You should be able to use the arrow keys to scroll through your command history.

Do you want to be able to view command history from previous sessions of micro? Currently if you press CtrlE and type in save and then press CtrlE again and hit the up arrow, save will appear. You can scroll through your current session's history with the arrow keys.

Micro also does tab completion for most things (like options and filenames). For example, after pressing CtrlE type open and then press tab and your options should be displayed in the statusline area. Once there is only one available option, it will be tab completed if you press tab.

I have pressed CtrlE, typed save, pressed CtrlE and pressed Up, to no result

Are you sure you are using the correct version? If you run micro -version it tells you the commit hash is d3f32b5?

Could this be to do with the fact i have
"Up": "UnbindKey,natural_navigation.NavigateUp",
"Down": "UnbindKey,natural_navigation.NavigateDown",
?

Yes that is certainly the problem. I'll try to fix this at some point. This is related to #635. We should really be using separate keybindings for command mode and insert mode.

Closing as duplicate of #635 because this will only be fixed when #635 is implemented and command history does exist otherwise.
