[Nano-devel] RFC: limiting the amount of position history

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

$ wc --lines .nano/search_history 
202 .nano/search_history

$ wc --lines .nano/filepos_history 
2888 .nano/filepos_history

Apparently nano limits the search and replace histories to
100 items each.  But the file-positions history grows without
end.  The oldest entry in mine dates from roughly August last
year  That isn't useful.

So I propose to limit the number of entries in the positions-
history file to 100 or 200, or at the very most 500.

What do you think?

Benno
