What is McFly?

McFly replaces your default ctrl-r shell history search with an intelligent search engine that takes into account your working directory and the context of recently executed commands. McFly's suggestions are prioritized in real time with a small neural network.

TL;DR: an upgraded ctrl-r where history results make sense for what you're working on right now. Features

  • Rebinds ctrl-r to bring up a full-screen reverse history search prioritized with a small neural network.
  • Augments your shell history to track command exit status, timestamp, and execution directory in a SQLite database.
  • Maintains your normal shell history file as well so that you can stop using McFly whenever you want.
  • Unicode support throughout.
  • Includes a simple action to scrub any history item from the McFly database and your shell history files.
  • Designed to be extensible for other shells in the future.
  • Written in Rust, so it's fast and safe.
  • You can type % to match any number of characters when searching.
