Hello,
The manual says his about the savehist variable:
> If the second word is set to ‘merge’, the history list is merged
> with the existing history file instead of replacing it (if there is
> one) and sorted by time stamp and the most recent events are retained.
If I have:
set history=(1024) savehist=(1024 merge)
then the most recent events always disappear (not saved in ~/.history).
If I have:
set history=(1024) savehist(2048 merge)
then the new events are getting added to ~/.history, although I wonder
if it keeps working after ~/.history has reached 2048 entries in size.
Anyone else having an issue with this?
Cheers,
+ Kimmo
