Issue 914546: Make history recall a-cyclic (original) (raw)

This patch adds an option for idleHistory to be a-cyclic -- holding the Alt-P keys will bring all the commands typed, one by one, and stop at the first one. This, I think, is more intuitive - when history is cyclic, and you press Alt-P continuously, you have no sense of your position, since it's always jumping from end to beginning. That's why I added this option, and that's why I made it a-cyclic by default.

The diffs are against idlefork 0.9b1, but work against current idle cvs.
