Enhanced History

Navigate your command and message history with draft preservation and reverse search. History persists across page reloads.

Draft-Preserving Navigation

Ctrl+Up — Save current text as draft and show previous history entry.
Ctrl+Down — Show next entry, or restore your draft when past the newest entry.
Regular Up/Down in an empty input works as before (server-side history).

Reverse Search (Ctrl+R)

Press Ctrl+R to open an inline search bar. Type to filter history entries by substring match. Press Enter to accept the match, or Escape to cancel.

Persistence

For identified registered users, the last 100 entries are stored with the account. Guests keep history only in browser memory for the current page.

Privacy

Sensitive commands (/identify, /nickserv, /ns) are filtered before history is persisted.
