@galdor : I liked your post about ielm, but I'm wondering what you do to *search* your history. My muscle reflex is to do what my shell (bash) does and use C-r; do you have a keybinding for searching the ielm history you're now storing?

(For context: n16f.net/blog/making-ielm-more)

#emacs #lisp #ielm

@ddrake I also have the C-r reflex due to ZSH. Look at the last section ;) I bind C-r to helm-comint-input-ring precisely for this reason. Of course it means you'll need Helm, but I see it as a bonus: Helm is awesome.

Helm isn't a requirement for this, there are other narrowing history search packages. If you use consult like me, consult-history seems to work, although I haven't gave it a workout yet.

@ambihelical @ddrake Correct. I just use Helm because it comes directly with a function collecting the content of the Comint input ring. You absolutely can do the same with other completion packages.
