Re: Adding to the history from within a widget

[Piers Powlesland <pierspowlesland@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've bound ctrl+o to open fzf (a fuzzy finder) which is populated with the
output of find and then open the selected file in vim.

I'd like to be able to add the vim command to the history, so that pressing
up lets me re-open the same file in vim.
