Absolutely not. It felt so laggy and buggy ~1 year ago. I think resizing my screen broke it at the time? And now it's loaded with AI and shortcuts overrides.

I switched to my custom fork of stinkpot posted a few days ago here, and it's so nice. I did have to add current-for filtering, but that was easy.

This bug is the very reason I started using atuin, in fact. And the reason my .zshrc ends with this line:

[[ -n `find . -maxdepth 1 -name .zsh_history -size -10k` ]] && echo "ZSH history is empty!!!"

I still use it for now, but it looks like they added some AI stuff that I don't want. I have disabled that for now, but I'm looking into migrating to mcfly.

i dont think i ever needed cross platform cross shell syncing of history

For me, I thought this until I tried spinning up my nix setup on a new machine and realised that a lot of my work patterns were being stored subconciously in my shell history. After using atuin with nix, each new machine became a carbon copy and I could spin up and instance and continue working seemlessly. There are also sometimes examples of things I do in work that I then want to repeat at home or vice versa which atuin makes easier

Nah. I don't use the shell anymore. Claude knows how to use it better than I do.
