Per directory history plugin

[jimhester]

This is a implementation of per directory history for zsh, some
implementations of which exist in bash[1,2]. It also implements
a per-directory-history-toggle-history function to change from using the
directory history to using the global history. In both cases the history is
always saved to both the global history and the directory history, so the
toggle state will not effect the saved histories. Being able to switch
between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature as far
as I am aware. The default binding to switch between using the local
directory history and the global history is ctrl-g

Im using this plugin in combination with history_substring_search and it (mostly) works great. However, when in the local directory scope, but the substring search appears to be searching duplicates.

I have the setopt hist_ignore_dups option set.

Ideas?

Also with a two line prompt, I need to change the echo statements to something like this, otherwise they disappear.

function per-directory-history-toggle-history() { if [[ $_per_directory_history_is_global == true ]]; then _per-directory-history-set-directory-history echo "using local history\n\n" else _per-directory-history-set-global-history echo "using global history\n\n" fi zle reset-prompt }

The prompt overwriting was due to a vi-mode bug, my commit above fixes that.

I also use the per-directory-history and history_substring_search plugins, and I do not get any duplicates, I am not sure what is causing it on your end, but it is not that combination of plugins.
