zsh: mcfly incorrectly parses multi-line zhistory entries

[durin42]

if you have a command typed as

echo foo \
  bar

that ends up as separate entries in mcfly, rather than a single one. It looks like mcfly is incorrectly parses the history entry? The relevant snippet for that from my .zsh_history is:

: 1593624164:0;echo foo \\
 bar

It looks like mcfly is getting confused by this, and I think it only gets the last line of the command.

Thanks @durin42, I think that is a bug.

I'm experiencing the same issue

Same problem here, in my case mcfly became unusable for most cases because I have to use history | grep every time it appears.

Any news on this?

It hasn't been a priority for me since I don't use many multi-line commands, but I'm open to pull requests. #162 was a first attempt but someone needs to own it and test it.
