UX: History pager changes number of columns while typing

Ansimorph opened this issue · comments

Fish 3.7.1 / OSX

The history pager started via CTRL-R changes the number of columns as a user is typing. Although this allows for dense packing of information, it makes the results hard to scan because the structure of the information constantly changes.

possible solutions:

  • always set the history pager to one column
  • expose the max column constant for history to users so they can set it to a value that makes sense for them
