#Why history cannot handle multi-line command properly. It will break them into pieces. So you will never find a complete multi-line command when you are accessing the history using search.

#How When you are editing a long command, hit CTRL-B. $EDITOR will pop out and let you continue editing the command. After you finished, save and exit $EDITOR, you will get your command in one line. Then your command is ready to run.

#What When hitting CTRL-B, split_lines.py is executed to split the current command and try to split your command so that the line won't be too long to make you easier to navigate.

When you exit your $EDITOR, join_lines.py is executed to replace \\n with a space, and put them in your prompt.

#Install I wrote install.py to make it easier for you to install.

If you don't trust me, just crack install.py. It's quite simple.
