[FR] Command history with up key

[comzine]

In raycast I can use the up key to see the last used commands. Would be nice, if SuperCmd had the same feature.

Implementing Command History with Up/Down Keys

• Gather context and understand codebase structure
• Explore relevant files (App.tsx, hooks, utils)
• Add SEARCH_HISTORY_KEY and MAX_SEARCH_HISTORY constants
• Create useCommandSearchHistory hook for persistent history storage
• Modify useLauncherKeyboardControls for Up/Down history navigation
• Wire history into App.tsx (save on execute, reset on window hide)
• Commit and push changes

What was implemented:

• Up arrow when the search bar is empty (and selection is at the top) navigates to older search queries
• Down arrow while browsing history navigates toward more recent entries; pressing Down at the most-recent entry clears the bar and exits history mode
• Typing any character resets the history position so normal search is unaffected
• Escape also resets the history index when it clears the search bar
• History is persisted to localStorage (sc-search-history) across sessions, capped at 50 entries, and de-duplicated (most recent usage always moves to front)
• Entries are saved whenever a command is successfully launched (via recordRootSearchLaunch), so browser search and all command types are captured
• History index is reset whenever the launcher window hides

Files changed:

• src/renderer/src/utils/constants.ts — added SEARCH_HISTORY_KEY, MAX_SEARCH_HISTORY
• src/renderer/src/hooks/useCommandSearchHistory.ts (new) — the history state/persistence hook
• src/renderer/src/hooks/useLauncherKeyboardControls.ts — ArrowUp/ArrowDown history navigation, reset on input change + Escape
• src/renderer/src/App.tsx — wires the hook, saves on execute, resets on window hide
