Atuin integration

[ricardoseriani]

Hi Everyone

When I set the following variables in my .zshrc (ABBR_EXPAND_PUSH_ABBREVIATED_LINE_TO_HISTORY=1
ABBR_EXPAND_AND_ACCEPT_PUSH_ABBREVIATED_LINE_TO_HISTORY=1) to save the unexpanded abbreviations to my history, it indeed save in my .zsh_history, but atuin doesn't show it when I search history with ctrl-r, because it uses another file (If I'm not mistaken, it's a sqlite file).

Anybody known how I can fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Neat.

That zsh-abbr feature relies on zsh's support for programmatically adding history records (with print -s).

In the current implementation, that call is buried deep in zsh-abbr functions. We could refactor zsh-abbr to expose a "write <string> to history" function, and then you could overwrite that function with your own that would write to atuin instead of or in addition to the shell history file. But right now that refactor wouldn't do you any good: based on the docs and exploring the source, I don't think atuin supports programmatically adding records to its db.

I think this would first require an atuin enhancement to expose a function or (possibly preferably?) add a widget that adds an arbitrary strong to the db. The essential code must already exist, since atuin needs to do that work every time a command is run interactively.
