Shared command history with zsh
In addition to intelligent word boundaries, another neat feature I came across with zsh was shared command history. This can be useful if, for example, you use GNU Screen and often open new shells but don’t want to lose your previous command history.
This is as simple as adding
setopt share_history
HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=1000
HISTFILE=~/.history
setopt APPEND_HISTORY
to your ~/.zshrc. Running a new shell should automatically start with the history from the shell you were previously using!
Update: Wordpress crammed some of the options together, so I fixed it.
