    Thank you!
    
    I am using Oh-My-Zsh and I found this, in ./lib/history.zsh:
    
    ## History command configuration
    setopt extended_history       # record timestamp of command in
    HISTFILE
    setopt hist_expire_dups_first # delete duplicates first when
    HISTFILE size exceeds HISTSIZE
    setopt hist_ignore_dups       # ignore duplicated commands history
    list
    setopt hist_ignore_space      # ignore commands that start with
    space
    setopt hist_verify            # show command with history expansion
    to user before running it
    setopt share_history          # share command history data
    
    
    Seems like an odd default assumption to have.
