This is for version 1.03, running on a vax running ultrix something or
other.
Bugs:
Recursive cd's crash bash:
cd () { cd . }
Desired Features:
(first 2 based on my experience with writing history editors:)
Make a !string history reference expand on whitespace (Or at least
on TAB), so it can then be edited -- i.e. !ccTAB would expand to
cc foo.c bar.c
with the cursor at the end of the line
A way to specify that a command NOT appear on the history -- e.g.
I don't want all those fg's. I have a command (macro actually) called
del1 in my system, so `del1 ; fg' isn't saved.
A qualifier on \t in prompt (e.g.) to specify precision would be
nice, I don't care about seconds and they clutter my screen with a
long prompt
File completion should ignore some files, (e.g. ~ .o) -- a variable?
Sun OS can do this sort of, for .o but not *~.
BASH seems picky about white space -- is this the way that the lex
analysis is done?
