Thanks, after some tweaking i got my function down to this, which works as I expected. I tried your variant but get "Command attempted to use minibuffer while in minebuffer. I'm happy with what I came up with, but would like to get your version to work also. Again thanks for your help.

You also need With you command, you have no option to alter the previous command before running it. With mine, you can do it, but it takes an extra RET. |
@njdan5691 I had to add Though having the option to edit the command does seem nice. @abo-abo when I try your version, it inserts the command into the current buffer, not the minibuffer? And |
Do you have the latest ivy version? |
I believe I do |
@therockmandolinist It should insert into the current buffer. Was the minibuffer current when you called the command? You need to call it through a binding when already in the minibuffer, not through |
Oh yeah, I see. Nevermind, I was being silly and calling the function by name. Thanks for clearing that up! |

EDIT: This is solved for apparently all minibuffer now via: |
@JohnLunzer glad you found the solution. The code you used is also part of |
Hi,
I use M-: (shell-command) often, and have turned on the history, I would love to have a counsel interface instead of the default behavior. I'm pretty new to elisp but this snippet was my first attempt

Thanks in advance
