counsel-M-x populates history for the execute-extended-command

[mookid]

On a setup that uses both counsel-M-x and execute-extended-command, the history becomes hard to use.

For instance:
M-x counsel-M-x
input "^cou git"
select the candidate counsel-git
later,
M-x
M-p

Here I get the previously entered string in the history, which is not really that helpful.

I see two possible improvements:

• keep a separate history for the replacement command
• keep a separate history and put the selected candidate in the history of the original command

What do you think about this?

What do you think about this?

Doesn't using counsel-M-x imply you're using ivy-mode? In that case, ^cou git still works for execute-extended-command.

I am not using ivy-mode, just binding a bunch of commands; I am interested in both behaviors.

Thanks.
