Using current command line content as search term?

[PythonNut]

Hmm... AFAIK I don't think it can be done at the moment. (I read all the code, and I don't see anything pertaining to what you want). How would you like this to be resolved, specifically?

• A zaw keybinding that appends $BUFFER to the current zaw query
• A way to tell zaw to start a particular source with the $BUFFER as it's initial value
• something else...

@PythonNut thanks for pinging me. Here's the flow I'd like. I don't know enough about the implementation to know exactly what I'd like from that perspective, but here's how I'd like it to function:

$ heroku logs prod

At this point, I want to be able to press Control-R and see something like this:

$ heroku logs prod
filter: heroku logs prod
heroku logs -n 2000 --tail --app=my-app-production
heroku logs -n 2000 --tail --app=my-other-app-production
heroku logs -n 2000 --tail -p worker.1 --app=my-app-production
heroku logs -n 2000 --tail -p app.1 --app=my-app-production
heroku logs -n 2000 --tail -p worker.1 --app=my-other-app-production
[1/18]

at which point I could continue to type my other and have it continue to filter down the list.

👍 zaw-history is great, but the lack of this feature almost makes me want to go back to built-in zsh history commands

@willghatch I just tried your commit. It's exactly what I was wanting 😍

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

It is a good idea to extend this functionality to other sources like ssh-host etc

[willghatch]

I'm not sure it would be a great fit for ssh-host, because that probably implies that the line start ssh, but the hostnames probably don't have "ssh" in them, so you would have to go back and delete the ssh thing. So unless you start adding some fancy filtering for what you want to keep from the initial command line (which I don't want to do), it wouldn't work very well.

Thanks, I was hoping that I can just type hostname and search using ssh-host source. Press enter.
