Re: completion inside vared

no, before invoking vared I do

fc -p -a $file 200 200

to have an history specific for the command

I just found out that replacing my previous trap with

trap 'return 1' INT

the history file is preserved after a ctrl-c.

If I instead do ctrl-g (send-break) the history file gets "cleaned" again

by cleaned I mean not really empty, but a file that contains just the first row of the history, for example

if the history file contained:

: 1645479991:0;./Desktop/
: 1645480234:0;./Mail/
: 1645480247:0;./nltk_data/

and I enter vared, than send ctrl-g, the file contains then only 

: 1645479991:0;./Desktop/

Is it possible to catch send-break? is it implemented through a trappable signal?

thanks

Something to do with gmail line wrapping/unwrapping, sorry.

Which history is getting lost?  The global shell history i.e. $HISTFILE?

Have you tried exiting vared with ctrl-g ?  Does that have the same problem?
