Fzf doesn't let you sync your shell history, though. I self-host an Atuin server so that I can share that history across my various machines.

To be honest I find the things I do on my "work" laptop are different to the things I do on my "personal" laptop, and different again to what I do on my desktop machine.

Regardless of which machine I'm using at any given moment I appreciate having "endless history", and the ability to search/filter it. But despite that I don't think I need to actual sync that.

I'm sure there is value to be had from syncing and making all history unified, but it's never appealed to me particularly.

Yeah, that's part of the "less features" I mentioned. I don't get any value from syncing shell history, but I can see why it's useful for some.

I also self host my own atuin server. It’s great.

I didn’t think syncing terminal history would be very useful until I tried it, but now I have a hard time when I don’t have it.

That was my experience. “Huh, what was that complicate thing I did on the database server?”

I have its search bound to ^r and use Fish shell’s own search for most things, with cross-machine search a keystroke away.
