howto remap ctrl h to delete previous character?

I'm trying to do the same and found your issue.

A quick search and I found #636 which led to https://github.com/ellie/atuin/blob/6c6f5f8187c1aa6c0b19879a717c538ced65bfb5/atuin/src/command/client/search/interactive.rs#L133

You can simply change the line and then compile the binary yourself.

Maybe we have have a flag to config this as well?

As mentioned form the talk atuin: magical shell history with Rust, atuin has a command-line interface, as documented in atuin history list. I am also used to the fzf's key-bindings-for-command-line.

I found #68 (comment) and it works perfect for me. Since we're using fzf interface, C-h to delete a character works.

I'm also looking for a way for ctrl-h to delete the previous char instead of moving the cursor to the left (I'm not using fzf for reverse histo search).

you may use my fork:

cargo install --force --git https://github.com/ompugao/atuin --branch feat/backspace-with-ctrl-h

diff:
main...ompugao:atuin:feat/backspace-with-ctrl-h

closed in favour of #193

it's on my list to address key bindings fairly soon 🙏
