bash history box

"HSTR is a command line utility that brings improved BASH command completion from the history.
It aims to make completion easier and more efficient than Ctrl-r.

Are you looking for a command that you used recently? Do you want to avoid the need to write long commands over and over again despite you used them recently? Are you looking for a tool that is able to manage your favorite commands?

Apart to the completion, history can be managed (you can remove commands that e.g. contain sensitive information like passwords) and bookmark your favorite commands."

Imho huge speed improvement in everyday bash usage thanks to the box.

Looks like a promising project. I'll try to add it to the tree and take over maintainership.

The shell-tools herd will co-maintain this project with me.
