We actually fixed the delay issue, but since you disabled update checking you wouldn't have known to update!

It was quite annoying so we're sorry for that



Oh, it's nice you fixed it, thanks! And don't worry, I updated atuin, as it's in my distro's repository (which is why I wasn't worried about disabling the update check).


How would you compare this to, say, McFly? https://github.com/cantino/mcfly


Intrigued by local-directory-first feature of McFly (It brings up commands you previously executed in that folder first). I tried it for a bit. But there was noticeable lag compared to FZF and also the UI was a bit shaky.

Went back to FZF (in Zsh).

I have a seven year zsh history. That may be a contributing factor for the issues ?


Not too different.

* We use heuristic based searches whereas mcfly trains a neural network * We offer a sync functionality to share history on multiple machines

mcfly is a great project, although they are looking for new maintainers apparently!


I noticed that before and am glad to see it fixed. My current issue is that typing to search is noticeably slow on a 150,000 entry history, especially for the first few characters. fzf is instant for me.
