[PATCH] [ping] Effect of "print -s" when called in zle widget not seen until zle is restarted
[Repost as it looks like it was missed the first time round.]
From
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/583443/adding-a-string-to-the-zsh-history
User https://unix.stackexchange.com/users/368116/noibe:
> The following function
>
> function test_hist() {
> print -s "This is a test"
> }
> zle -N test_hist
> bindkey '^X^T' test_hist
>
> adds the string This is a test to the zsh-history.
>
> If I call the function explicitly by typing test_hist, the
> string is immediately added to the history, but if I call it

My answer there:
I find that using fc -R =(print text) in place of print -s text
works consistently in and out of a zle widgets though, so it
could be a work around for you.
Looking at the code of zsh 5.8, I find that fc -R seems to let
zle know that a new history entry has been added when it detects
zle is active, while print -s doesn't.
This patch (on the current git head as of
2020-05-02T22:20+01:00) seems to fix it:
diff --git a/Src/builtin.c b/Src/builtin.c
index 3dab3f9b4..551653508 100644
--- a/Src/builtin.c
+++ b/Src/builtin.c
@@ -4918,6 +4918,8 @@ bin_print(char *name, char **args, Options ops, int func)
ent->stim = ent->ftim = time(NULL);
ent->node.flags = 0;
addhistnode(histtab, ent->node.nam, ent);
+ if (zleactive)
+ zleentry(ZLE_CMD_SET_HIST_LINE, curhist);
unqueue_signals();
return 0;
}
Not sure if that's the right fix though. I'll submit it to
zsh-workers@xxxxxxx.
Hence this email.
