Completed Phase 1 high priority task - comprehensive browsing history:
HistoryManager (New):
- JSON persistence to ~/.config/tut/history.json
- Auto-records every page visit
- Updates timestamp on revisit (moves to front)
- Limit to 1000 entries maximum
- Each entry stores: title, URL, timestamp
- Handles special characters with JSON escaping
- Auto-creates config directory if needed
UI Integration:
- History panel in bottom (center-left) of UI
- Shows up to 5 most recent visits
- Displays "[1] Title" format with cyan highlighting
- Shows "+N more..." indicator if >5 entries
- Real-time update on every navigation
Auto-Recording:
- Records on navigation via address bar
- Records on link click navigation
- Records on back/forward navigation
- Skips empty URLs and about:blank
- Updates existing entries instead of duplicating
Keyboard Shortcuts:
- F3: Toggle history panel visibility
* Refreshes history list when opened
Features:
- Persistent storage across browser sessions
- Smart duplicate handling (updates timestamp)
- Move-to-front on revisit
- Automatic trimming to max 1000 entries
- Sorted display (newest first)
- Empty state handling ("(empty)" message)
Technical Implementation:
- HistoryManager class with Pimpl idiom
- Simple JSON format for easy manual editing
- Event-driven architecture (WindowEvent::OpenHistory)
- Lambda callback for history updates
- Integrated with navigation callbacks
- Three-panel bottom layout (Bookmarks | History | Status)
Storage Format:
[
{"title": "Page Title", "url": "https://...", "timestamp": 1234567890},
...
]
Documentation:
- Updated KEYBOARD.md with F3 shortcut
- Updated STATUS.md to reflect completion
