Autocomplete History?

Post by so_Far »

Been using FAR for decades (?!) now and this is the first time I have a doubt that in-fact make me create an account to ask for.
I was trying now for a couple of days to find the settings to auto remove the Autocomplete History, which with the time gets pretty annoying when you are using several extensions with the same string at the beginning and the same happens with the "Containing" in Find File.
The list seems to be infinite, at least with me. I have tried to disable it the Autocomplete option and then when I go back, the "Containing" adds the new string to its list. The same happens with the extensions. All of this, again, in Find File.
Checked in far:config and there is no option for that, that clear its History in certain amount of time like it does with Command.History.Lifetime.

Maybe there is a hidden option to that?

Aren't History.DialogHistory.Count and History.DialogHistory.Lifetime what you are looking for?

You are right!. What I was doing changed both sets, but I thought that it would save the configuration after both were changed, so I had to specifically select 'save' to make the change effective and go back out from 'far' and start it again.
