[Github-comments] [geany] [feature request] less noisy history for terminal following current file (#650)

[Donjan Rodic]

You're right, it's not the built-in behaviour. But bash on Ubuntu defaults to `ignoreboth` (setting `ignoredups:ignorespace`), which is the reason for opening this issue.
Setting `erasedups` globally is questionable, as you remove lines from any previous and possibly unrelated history chain, which gets confusing if you want to replicate it (especially in a non-Geany context).
I don't see how to set `erasedups` only for the Geany VTE (probably not desirable also in a Geany context): matching a `env` variable in the bash rc doesn't seem very reliable. Diffing `env` for the Geany VTE and a standard interactive session for example gives `VTE_VERSION` only for the latter on this particular machine, and may have side effects in environments set by other programs.
So my feature request stands as in the OP.
