Pressing UP arrow key should scroll through entire history

[Mastermind-sap]

What do you want?

Currently when we press UP arrow key it starts selecting the previous commands that match the cureent inputed string. This is very helpful but when there is nothing inserted it only goes upto only the lst 11 records in history although there are more stored. It would be nice if this scroll was infinite.

Why do you want this?

I ask Why stop at the last 11 records of history?

Who else would benefit from this?

Everyone who has a bad memory and can't even remember the start of the command.

How should it work?

It should just keep showing the previous command entered on pressing up arrow key.

Given the following situation:
I know I have entered some command which i don't remember but it was beyond the previous 11 commands and I don't want to open .zsh_history to check what the command was.

When I perform the following steps:

1. Press UP button

Then I expect the following to happen:

• It to list and select the previous commands.

+1 on this, we should have an option to make this configurable -- either set it to the previous n lines or disable it completely.

Try setting zstyle ':autocomplete:history-search-backward:*' list-lines -1 for unlimited lines. (If it works it'd be nice to have that documented in README.)

EDIT: fix typo in the command
