Ability to disable date and time context in history search

[pbadenski]

I can see how a lot of people might find this feature useful - me, I prefer the absolute necessary minimum of information - otherwise I get distracted. It would be great for people like me to allow disabling history date/time info from results.

Thanks @kidonng! I forgot about that option. I just tested it and it seems to work. However, I think you can just do this in your config.fish

set fzf_history_opts --with-nth=4..

You shouldn't have to override the entire binding.

Pawel, can you confirm this works for you please?

Because I also have bind \e\cr _fzf_search_history.

Interesting, you use both versions! Could you explain why removing the timestamps is so important to you that you have a dedicated key bind for it? Collecting more user stories will help me prioritize this feature.

Works like a charm, thank you!!

Like the OP said, most of the time I only care about the commands themselves. That's why I override the default binding to hide the timestamps.

But there are often times I need to distinguish similar commands from a different time, or find commands in particular time, and that's when timestamps come handy.

I also change the timestamps to include the year, which may not suit as the default as they take too much space for little value. But this is not an issue for me as I don't see timestamps at all most of the time.
