Hi, new user here.
Currently history-prefix-search-backward and the forward counterpart will change cursor to end of line during the search, however in zsh the behavior of history-beginning-search-backward is to put the cursor at the original position, appending text after the cursor. Can we make this behavior the default instead of putting cursor at the end?
steps to confirm:
bind -M insert \cP history-prefix-search-backward
echo 1 2
ls 3
echo 3 4
then type "echo" (no enter) and press ctrl-p to trigger prefix search, the cursor will change to the end for each match.
Is it reasonable to make them not change the cursor (personally I feel like that would be more natural), if not do you against a new readline command that behave like this?
