Can't cycle through views with C-/

[kohanyirobert]

The shortcut for cycling through the views doesn't work for me. I'm using OS X El Capitan, installd hh via brew.

$ hh --version
hh version "1.19"
   build   "Nov 28 2015 21:15:07"

I've tried invoking the shortcut from tmux and from the plain Terminal as well, but it doesn't do a single thing. The other shortcuts work. My .bash_profile contains only the defaults produced by hh --show-configuration. I haven't got an .inputrc.

Alternatively you can use Ctrl-7, if Ctrl-/ doesn't work (check man).

[kohanyirobert]

Nope, doesn't work. :/

[kohanyirobert]

Just noticed that \C-- works (that is Ctrl with a -). I'm using the default US keyboard layout on my Mac. Not a big deal, but still weird.

Just noticed that \C-- works

Reproducible in console terminal (Ubuntu).

Resolution: I will change shortcut used to cycle to Ctrl-7 + I will change man page.

[dvorka]

I just pushed the proposed changes.

[kohanyirobert]

Well, C-7 doesn't work for me :D I won't reopen this, because it might be possible that my configuration is somehow messed up, just wanted to let you know. It's not a frequently used shortcut anyway, so don't be bothered by it too much.

Ad Ctrl-7: it's unfortunate, however, I hope that this is a problem specific to your system... shortcuts became a bit nightmare for me 😅 Thank you for letting me know.

@dvorka, I can reproduce this issue: neither C-7 nor C-/ rotate the view, C-- works though (hh 1.23, bash 4.4.12(1), OS X 10.8). See also #203.

[dvorka]

Reopening - I need to better understand key mapping on different platforms and perhaps consider platform specific conditional compilation.

[1-61803]

@dvorka, and while you're at it, maybe you find a way to customize shortcuts. I cannot praise high enough hstr!

[gertcuykens]

C-7 works in vscode terminal bash but not in default mac terminal bash

[dvorka]

Linux vs macOS vs Win WSL - conditional compilation + platform detection to use the right binding (to be handled in new distro builds).

[dvorka]

I just decided to solve this issue with conditional compilation: Ctrlw to be used on macOS, Ctrl/ or Ctrl7 on other systems. Change will be releases with the new version.

[1-61803]

I wouldn't use C-w in macOS, which usually is unix-word-rubout, but in hstr seems to behave as C-k, that is kill-line.

[dvorka]

I have hard time to choose the right shortcut - would you have any suggestion please?

[1-61803]

Right now on 1.24 (20180221) in macOS I see

view:history (C-7)

but C-7 doesn't work, C-- does and it's fine by me.

Then why don't you just change what's showing to

view:history (C--)

[dvorka]

@1-61803 unfortunately you have an obsolete (8 months old) version. It's fixed in HSTR 1.27 I don't maintain brew. How did you installed HSTR?

[1-61803]

I use MacPorts with a portfile that I maintain locally to download master. I'll see if I update it.

swiss-french keyboard, ubuntu 20.04 here,

to cycle trough the view ctrl+shift+"-" works (found it by luck)
