It feels possible, but I can only offer a few thoughts in that direction. Hopefully somebody who knows better comes along and shows the way more concisely. In my config I do something similar where Ctrl+T does something different based on a trailing space:
Here's the code that does that: https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/configs/blob/f9c19d4663ac25a1b52a7d3948aea1a582c61094/home-manager/config/nushell/config.nu#L793 You can see the valid keycodes and modifiers like this: One way would be to use modifier: none
keycode: space
event: [
{
send: ExecuteHostCommand
cmd: "commandline edit ( ...And then you'd write something which evaluates to a space if the output of In my case, I pipe the output of {
name: search_history
modifier: control
keycode: char_q
mode: [emacs, vi_normal, vi_insert]
event: { send: searchhistory }
}With An alternative approach would be to avoid summoning the history picker from inside {
name: move_right_or_take_history_hint
modifier: control
keycode: char_f
mode: emacs
event: {
until: [
{ send: historyhintcomplete }
{ send: menuright }
{ send: right }
]
}
}But I'm not sure what it takes to register custom events. I think you'd want something like this: |

Hi, Thanks a lot for the very detailed answer! I will check your solution for detection of start line (or empty line). You are right, though, I won't be able to open the history menu this way. I hope that one day it will be possible to send a command like move left and if it fails use the built-in until mechanism to launch the menu, otherwise move back and add the space. As per the documentation currently all these commands succeed even if there's nowhere to move to the left. |

Take a look at atuin, maybe you can use that instead of the internal history picker. |

I've considered switching from fzf to atuin, it looks pretty cool. Although from a get-to-know-nushell perspective I'm still curious of one can write custom events or access existing events as commands such that this could be done without 3rd party software. I could be overlooking something but they don't seem like worlds that need to be as separate as they feel. |

Thanks for the suggestion, but, no, no and no :) There's no way I'll let my command history be dumped into the Internet. More so, to allow it to come back into another device after being in the Internet. |

Don't send it to the internet, I'm not doing it either (although it's completely encrypted), it's all local for me. The only reason I'm suggesting it, as an alternative to the history invocation, which seems to be the action that can't be invoked. |
