@zadjii-msft - do you want review this one? I could add a setting for history size, but probably let's start with validating the basic functionality?

I really do, I'm just neck-deep in another investigation ATM that's taking 99% of my brain cycles. This is probably the next PR I review though

Wow, this was all so incredibly straightforward, I love it. I suppose 10 is a perfectly reasonable history size to start with - I'll be stunned if anyone hits that in a single session before we add #8324. And increasing the size with a setting wouldn't be that hard - but yea, let's wait till someone wants a longer history

Great idea & implementation!

If you run the same command multiple times, will it keep getting added to the history? Should we try and de-duplicate entries in the history? (that is probably fine for a follow-up PR)

@zadjii-msft - I took this approach because I didn't know what is the best behavior here, and in such cases I choose the simplest one. The options I considered were:

  • Set, sorted alphabetically
  • Set, sorted by MRU
  • List, sorted by MRU
  • A combination that you mentioned of don't push the command if it equals to the previous one

If you have a strong feeling about one of those, I can change this now or in followup (or we can add configs and leave to the user).

Open question: should we populate the search box when navigating the list?

I'm okay not doing this for now or going back and filing a followup 😄

Thanks again, this is lovely.
