[Feature] Show command's directory in UI, execute command in the directory from which it was previously run

[vrozkovec]

Hi, thanks for your work, I'm just in the process of trying out atuin, and so far it has been great.

Without making UI cluttered, would it be possible to show the cwd of the command, or at least cwd in the bottom preview? I can Ctrl + o to inspect the command, but it adds a friction.

If there were a shortcut to change cwd to the directory where the command was previously run, that would be a great timesaver and improvement others would find useful as well, imho.

Hi, take a look at #3089 - it's a recent feature which lets you configure the displayed columns. It's released in v18.12.0-beta.1.

There's no feature to change the working directory as of now though.

I'm going to alias something like atuin history list --format "{directory}" --session | tac | awk '!x[$0]++' | tac to speed this up for me. It only works when I can identify the directory I want to jump back to though, so a native atuin solution would be awesome.

After re-reading myself - just to be clear regarding changing the directory, I meant to change the directory AND execute the command in that directory.

Regarding #3089 - that's perfect!

sounds pretty good! a little unsure on the keybinding we can use here, but we have some custom keybinding work coming soon that should make things easier there. perhaps someone on the prefix key

will think about it and get back to this
