Syscall ioctl/TIOCSTI no longer required

Insert command in command prompt

New HSTR release brings parameter which can be used to insert commands in terminal prompt:

$ hstr --insert-in-terminal="ls -hal"
$ ls -hal|

It is useful whenever you need to:

• construct complex command using a shell script to modify current shell with source and check and/or edit it prior running:

$ hstr --insert-in-terminal="`my-script-which-constructs-command.sh`"
$ export CONDA_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/conda/acme && unset PYTHONPATH && source ../.rc_conda && conda activate env_prj|

• insert command to terminal prompt directly from a shell script to modify current shell:

$ cat my-script-which-inserts-command.sh
...
hstr --insert-in-terminal="${CMD} -vvv ${REQUIRED_PARAMS} ${OPTIONAL_PARAMS} ${2}"
...
$ ./my-script-which-inserts-command.sh
ACME builder:
  clean ... DONE
  build ... DONE
Ready to test product:
$ pytest -vvv -n 8 --use-fixture-cache tests/feature_test.py::test_case|

Overall this feature aims to help you to be faster and get more out of your shell scripts.

Enjoy!

HSTR v2.0 brings consistency and stability

This major HSTR release resolves confusing hstr/hh ambuiguity by choosing hstr to be the only name used. hh becomes just a shell alias. Therefore this release introduces backward incompatible changes:

• All HH_ starting environment variables were changed to be prefixed with HSTR_.
• Similarly configuration file names starting with .hh_ were renamed to start with .hstr_.
• Identifiers used in HSTR_CONFIG environment variable were changed to avoid clashes e.g. favorites to favorites-view. Please check man page for details and update your 1.x.x configuration.
• Ubuntu package name was changed - use: apt install hstr to install HSTR.
• Tarball name was changed as well to have hstr- prefix - please update your scripts.
• See #309 for more details.

In addition to that Bash autocomplete configuration has been added, long commands handling improved and all memory leaks fixed.

If you have any questions, suggestions or problem (package maintainers in particular) please don't hesitate to contact me.
