Is there a way to disable the up-arrow search history?

[edte]

just disable this

[unode]

Commenting out

zsh-autocomplete/Functions/Init/.autocomplete__key-bindings

Line 45 in c7b6550

${0}:bind main up-line-or-search $_autocomplete__key_up[@]

and

zsh-autocomplete/Functions/Init/.autocomplete__key-bindings

Line 47 in c7b6550

${0}:bind main down-line-or-select $_autocomplete__key_down[@]

seems to do it for me.

That said, I would also see benefit in having a way to disable or customize this behavior as it seems inconsistent with the rest.

For me, thats particularly true when up-arrowing with an empty prompt (just re-run the last command), which I do alot. It would be cool if the search history only showed up after 2 (or N) up-arrows

Yeah I also wanted to disable it, cause it often locks up for me and I have to kill the terminal. Cant Ctrl+C out of the history menu and then its all buggered.

It used to make my terminal freeze too, until I commented the lines mentioned in this comment #645 (comment)

This problem has been solved. The requirement is to disable the display of fzf's history when pressing up, but after pressing tab, the arrow keys also can be able to be used in completion. Now the requirements are basically met.

my modifications:

pr:
main...edte:zsh-autocomplete:main

now:

Could you please leave this open until an actual fix is implemented?
Simply commenting out those lines isn't really a fix but more of a workaround.

the readme states how to reset up/down arrow keys to zsh-default: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete?tab=readme-ov-file#reset-history-key-bindings-to-zsh-default

I'm also trying to disable the history search. I just want normal scroll through the history like zsh native.
I tested both solutions, commenting out those two key binding lines, and also adding the function in .zshrc before and after sourcing zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh. Any suggestions to fix this?

Update: #698 (comment) putting source oh-my-zsh.sh above source zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh fixed it

bumping this, I prefer to default behavior. it would be nice have actual config to support this.

I commented on the related issue for what worked for me. Give it a try :)
