bash-preexec's force of HISTCONTROL=ignoredups conflicts with Midnight Commander.

[emk2203]

bash-preexec.sh forces the use of HISTCONTROL=ignoredups and the removal of ignorespace.

This conflicts with mc's operation, because all internal commands of mc are now cluttering the history file.

Is there a workaround for this?

I would be fine with disabling this part of bash-preexec.sh if the price is only losing the ability to use space-prefixed commands with bash-preexec.sh.

This is a duplicate of #115, and there are PRs #96 and #119. I also plan to submit improvements after #96 is merged (see #96 (review)).

Thanks for the quick reply.

I missed #115 since I used different search terms, but the answer is there. Anyone stumbling on this in the future, please read the answer to #115 and an even earlier one.
