Display multiple matches

[davidsoergel]

This plugin is really great-- and could be even greater (imho) if it could display a navigable menu of matching history items instead of one at a time-- something like the "kill" completion menu.

Thanks!

I have an experimental version of this at gezalore/zsh-history-substring-search@menu-experiment which I have been using for the past 6 months, it need some polish but might be a good starting point.
Issues in particular:

• the menu is drawn entirely in POSTDISPLAY, is there a better way to provide a menu in zsh?
• the patch tries to colour the diff between consecutive results and depends on Python to compute the diff

Implemented in #79

It's not working in MacOSX High Sierra...

have look at fzf and zsh integration

[devssh]

Yes the fzf integration solved the problem! I had to add plugin - fzf

Might I add most of the zsh-users repositories are really good, life is so much better with autocomplete and syntax highlighting! Thank you for everything
