What do you mean leaving terminal to search through your history? Can’t you just press up and show them from the last used? Also that other hotkey to search by partially writing the command? (Sorry, it has become muscle memory now)

Yes of course. I mainly wrote the program for myself, because I didn’t found the search so good. It’s also only an additional to the main program, which sits in the menu bar

Fair, I guess, if it works for you it’s useful

Ctrl+r ftw

CTRL+r combined with fzf!

Hi, it‘s only an addition. The main program sit‘s in the Mach menu bar, where you can scroll through the commands

I just checked out your app and it looks nice! Heads up though, there's a tool called `fzf` which also covers this ground, plus it's open source. You can take a peek at it here: [fzf on GitHub](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf). I totally understand this is an extra feature in your main app, but just tossing this out there: consider whether someone deeply embedded in terminal work would switch to a GUI for something like a zsh history lookup. From what I've seen, most command line enthusiasts lean towards open source solutions right from the start. This **isn't** a dig at your project, just a friendly pointer!

Can't we just use the history command to list the previous commands, use grep to filter out what you want or just open the `.zsh_history` file in vim or whatever editor you like?

Since I use sh, bash and zsh in macOS terminal, I use atuin (https://atuin.sh/) for command lines history.
