From: Marijn Suijten <marijns95@gmail.com> Change rl_handler to append duplicate history, as long as it isn't identical to the last line. It prevents consecutive duplicates while still having an accurate overview of the most recent commands used, mimicking most modern shells. This addresses my only major gripe with bluetoothctl: pressing UP does not retrieve the last typed command when it is a duplicate of something else written (much) earlier in the history. It is especially noticeable when needing the same command repeatedly. --- src/shared/shell.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
