history multiline commands

[leiserfg]

There are a way to get multilines commands on history not as one single command (maybe by un-escaping the output).

Depends on what exactly you want. $history will contain these things as one element, but you can then apply splitting manually - set line (echo $history[1]) will do that to the most recent history element.

Thanks!

@leiserfg: What is it you want to do with this, though?

[leiserfg]

I'm trying to improve the ctrl-r bind of fzf. I can do that by reading cat fish_history|sed ... but it's not a clean way.

Yeah, it'd work for that. (Your sample command contains a useless-use-of-cat, btw - sed can read files)
