Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database

I've been using atuin in my private PC for like half a year now.

It is kinda nice, to quickly search your history and that part works really well, but what I don't like (maybe there are configs for it) is that you:

1. have an additional button press for the usual "get me that last operation" and

2. it searches all sessions (which is mostly nice, but sometimes annoying, I guess)

I changed the configuration so that my up arrow isn't hijacked. That fixed most of my annoyances. For a quick recall from history that I know is one to four back, I can use the up and down arrows. When wanting to actually search, I will use ctrl + r.

You can toggle back and forth between what is being searched. For example, you can search globally, or one session.

you can change the default scope to session or directory. And then cycle through the scopes
