I do a lot of devops and commands are often very long, particularly interacting with aws, gcp, kubernetes, helm etc.

I often like to find a command with ctrl + r but the previewed part of the commands are often identical

I also want to be able to check the timestamp, runtime, cwd, exit code of the commands when searching, so I don't want to only show the command column.

Scrolling doesn't let me do both things, so I'd really appreciate an option to wrap commands, and also an option to view a command, which would display command properties in a vertical format (think like a pretty-formatted json object).

I often find myself defaulting to history | grep x | grep y to find the command I want, which is frustrating because I like this tool, it just doesn't quite have a natural workflow for me.

After writing this, I'm now thinking an additional helpful feature might be to have a refine search features, without resorting to sql, the flow might look like

  1. ctrl + r
  2. <search term a> -> get back result of searching history for <search term a>
  3. ctrl + r again
  4. <search term b> -> get back result of searching (2) for <search term b>

but the command wrapping would totally be sufficient alone.
