This project provides a tab-completion of web history in Zsh. It is designed for use with a history file of a Chromium-based browser (defaults to Google Chrome history). The querying of the browser database file is provided via a command-line utility (web-hist).

• Searches your browser history and suggests previously visited URLs.
• Supports globbing with (*),
• Incremental completion for domain, path, and parameters

1. Build the project using make:

   make

2. Install with:

   make install

   This installs:

   • web-hist into ~/bin/.
   • Zsh completion script _web into ~/.zfunc/.

You need to have cargo (Rust project manager) to run the build.

Ensure ~/bin is in your PATH and ~/.zfunc is sourced in your .zshrc:

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
fpath=($HOME/.zfunc $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

web www.goog[TAB]  # Suggest visited URLs like 'www.google.com', 'www.google.fr'

web *math[TAB]       # Search history for any URL containing 'math'
web */*.ipynb[TAB]   # Find previously visited Jupyter Notebooks
web */*?*.ipynb[TAB]

compdef google-chrome=web

• WEB_HISTORY_FILE: The location of the history file. Defaults to /.config/google-chrome/Default/History.

Example:

export WEB_HISTORY_FILE=~/.config/microsoft-edge/Default/History
