Terminal-style input history for the web composer: edge-first arrow-key recall with exact draft/caret restore, browser-local persisted history, Ctrl+R reverse search, and sliding-context awareness; 0.5.0 adds a smart input layer — cross-session snippets (/save, /load), prompt templates with variables, reuse insights, and compaction-summary highlighting.
Install
# from npm (prebuilt)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-composer-history
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:PerryLink/dsh-composer-history
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).

Press ↑ like it's a terminal — and keep your half-typed draft intact.

Community plugin, not affiliated with DeepSeek. Canonical repository: https://github.com/PerryLink/dsh-composer-history (Gitee is a mirror).
What it is
It puts a terminal's input history into the DeepSeek Harness web composer: with the caret on the first line, ↑ recalls the last message you sent; anywhere else, ↑/↓ move the caret as usual and nothing steals the key.
The first recall stashes {draft, caret}, and reaching the newest entry again (or pressing Esc) restores both exactly — your half-typed draft is never cleared. History lives in browser-local storage, so recall survives page reloads and spans sessions; Ctrl+R searches history, snippets, and templates together. When the harness auto-compacts the context, each checkpoint's summary joins recall and search as a [compacted] … entry, and a transient notice offers a one-click /compact fill.
Pure UI behavior: no session events, no agent-loop changes, no model requests. Recalled text only enters the ordinary composer draft, and it reaches the model only if you press Enter.
Three-step setup
Install (pick one channel):
# git channel (latest main; equivalent to git+https://github.com/PerryLink/dsh-composer-history.git) dsh plugin --profile web add github:PerryLink/dsh-composer-history # npm channel (published releases) dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-composer-history # tarball channel: pnpm pack in this repo, then dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-composer-history-<version>.tgzThe npm package ships the built bundles; a source checkout must be built first (
pnpm run build) — the client-package check refuses to boot against an unbuilt bundle.Minimal config (defaults are fine; the bundle patch inserts one row and the
Configschema supplies the rest):- insert: - id: composer-history name: dsh-composer-historyVerify it mounts:
dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep -A3 'id: composer-history'The output should show
id: composer-historyandname: dsh-composer-history. After a restart, put the caret on the first line of the web composer and press ↑: the newest user message fills the draft.
Uninstall: dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-composer-history (or remove the row from the profile patch).
Every PerryLink plugin is listed in the built-in DSH Desktop market: Market → Sources → Add source → paste https://perrylink-dsh-catalog.perrylink.workers.dev/catalog-source.json → select. Installation still requires the market's npm identity check and your confirmation.
Core capabilities
dsh-composer-history does one thing: it makes the composer remember what you sent, and hand it back untouched when you need it.
- Edge-first arrow recall — bare ↑/↓ move the caret first; history recall triggers only when the caret sits on the first/last line. The first recall stashes
{draft, caret}, and reaching the newest entry again (or pressingEsc) restores both exactly — never cleared. - Persisted history — every sent message is appended to a bounded browser-local store, so recall survives page reloads and reaches across sessions.
- Reverse search —
Ctrl+R(configurable) opens a query overlay over merged history, snippets, and templates. - Smart input layer —
/save//loadsnippets, prompt templates with{{workspace}}/{{session}}/{{draft}}variables, and browser-local reuse insights. - Sliding-context aware — compaction summaries join recall and search as
[compacted] …entries, and a transient notice announces each compaction with a one-click/compactfill. - Versioned JSON backup — export/import all four libraries (history, snippets, templates, insights) as one schema-versioned document; download or copy on export, file pick or paste on import.
Pure UI behavior: no session events, no agent-loop changes, no model requests. Recalled text only enters the ordinary composer draft; it reaches the model only if you press Enter.

Reverse search
- Open: the
searchKeyschord while the composer is focused and the input isplain(aCtrl+Rhere also stops the browser's page reload — the key is consumed only inside the composer). - Filter: substring match over the merged history (current session + persisted + workspace entries); case sensitivity per
searchCaseSensitive; matched substrings are highlighted in each row. - Pick: Enter fills the draft and moves the caret to the end — the same single
setDraftwrite path as ordinary recall. Recalled text reaches the model only if you press Enter afterwards. - Cancel: Esc or a press outside the panel; the draft is untouched.
Smart input layer
On top of the terminal-style history, three browser-local libraries turn the composer into a reusable input surface. Everything below lives in localStorage (keys dsh.composer-history.snippets.v1, .templates.v1, .insights.v1), never touches the network, and every switch is a Config field.
Snippets (cross-session command library)
/save ship-check --tag=release,ops
check the build, run the smoke suite, tag the release ← the rest of the draft is the snippet
/save ship-check → "snippet saved: ship-check"
/load ship-check → the snippet fills the composer
Ctrl+R → search panel lists snippets (green badge = name) alongside history
/save <name>consumes the Enter, stores the draft (minus the command line) under a kebab-case name with optional tags, and clears the composer. Nothing to save → an error notice, the command never sends./load <name>inserts the snippet at the caret (whole-draft replace, caret to end) and counts the use.- Scope: snippets saved with a workspace cwd are workspace-scoped; snippets saved without one are global.
maxSnippetsbounds the library; same-name saves replace. - The plugin never sends: every fill lands in the ordinary draft and your Enter stays yours.
Prompt templates with variables
Templates are stored prompt texts with {{variable}} placeholders. The search panel lists them with a purple badge; picking one fills the variables from the live session and inserts the result. Built-in variables: {{workspace}} (the session's cwd), {{session}} (the session id), {{draft}} (the current draft). A template referencing an unknown variable fails loudly with the missing list — a half-filled prompt is worse than an error.
The whole library — history, snippets, templates, and insights — exports to and imports from a single versioned JSON document through the panel's Export JSON / Import file actions; see Backup export & import below. An explicit user action; the plugin never writes files on its own.
Reuse insights
Every newly committed user message (and every snippet load) lands one browser-local usage record keyed by exact text. While you type, a small hint under the composer reports used M× in N sessions once the draft matches a prompt used in at least insightMinUses (default 2) sessions. Toggle with enableInsights; the statistics contain only the deduped texts and counters.
Compaction summary highlight
Ctrl+R marks [compacted] … summaries with an amber badge (history stays unbadged), snippets green, templates purple — the panel's provenance is visible at a glance. Toggle with enableCompactionHighlight.
Backup export & import
All four browser-local libraries export to and import from one versioned JSON document. The panel's Export JSON / Copy JSON / Import file / Paste JSON actions run entirely in the browser: download or copy to clipboard on export, file pick or pasted text on import — nothing is uploaded and no host RPC or network call is involved.

"insights": [{ "text": "…", "sessions": [], "uses": 0, "lastUsedAt": 0 }]

Merge & conflict strategy
- History entries are plain strings and deduplicate by exact text; a duplicate or blank entry is skipped, never overwritten.
- Snippets and templates key on
name; insights key on exacttext. On a same-key conflict the newest timestamp wins (updatedAtfor snippets/templates,lastUsedAtfor insights); an older or equal-timestamp import is skipped, and new keys are appended. - The import respects
maxPersistedandmaxSnippets; templates and insights cap at their fixed protocol limits (500each). - The result notice reports how many records were written and how many were skipped (older/duplicate).
Schema versioning
schemaVersion starts at 1. Imports run a stepwise migration (one version at a time) so future formats can upgrade old documents in place. A document whose schemaVersion is newer than the one this build understands is rejected with an error — it is never silently dropped or partially merged; a version too old to migrate is rejected the same way.
Sliding context
The harness core gives every dsh session a sliding context window, the same workflow Claude Code and Codex ship: when a conversation approaches the model's context limit (or the provider reports an overflow), the harness auto-compacts — older turns are summarized behind a compaction checkpoint marker that stays visible in the transcript, the model keeps only the summary plus the recent tail, and the session continues. /compact triggers the same compaction on demand, and the marker renders as an expandable "Context compacted" row.
dsh-composer-history plugs the composer into that workflow so the window slide never costs you your typing history:
- Recall survives compaction — shadowed turns stay in the finalized conversation the Chat view publishes, so ↑ still walks every message you sent before and after a checkpoint.
- Summaries join the history — each checkpoint's summary text enters ↑ recall and
Ctrl+Rsearch as a[compacted] …entry (toggle:includeCompactionSummaries), so context the model no longer sees verbatim stays one keystroke away. - Compaction notice — when a checkpoint lands while the page is open, a transient snackbar announces it (the Claude Code "Auto-compacting conversation…" moment) with the summary snippet and a one-click Fill
/compactaction (showCompactionNotice,compactCommandText); the fill lands in the ordinary draft, and only your Enter sends it. - Search counts — the
Ctrl+Rpanel now shows a liveN entries/N matchesstatus line, and long entries are clamped to two lines.
Compaction itself (thresholds, summary model,
/compact) is owned by the harness core's compaction plugins — this plugin only observes the checkpoint markers the Chat view's conversation projection already publishes (uiConversation.binding(id).target('chat').legacy.nodes), so it works without any agent-loop or model-request changes.
Configuration
All tunables are Schemastery Config fields (changeable from cordis.yml and the entry's settings form; the profile patch is the persisted document). An id-targeted override replaces the whole row — restate every key you need. Invalid enum values fail the whole dsh boot loudly, and a settings-form edit is validated by the host before it persists.

FAQ
Four browser-local localStorage keys: dsh.composer-history.v1 (sent-message history), dsh.composer-history.snippets.v1 (snippet texts + tags + use counters), dsh.composer-history.templates.v1 (template texts), and dsh.composer-history.insights.v1 (deduped prompt texts + per-session use counters). All bounded, same-origin only, never uploaded; corrupt payloads reset silently. The only way content leaves the browser is the explicit backup export you click (download or clipboard).
Yes — that is Known limitation #1. Interception anchors on host-private DOM: the contenteditable div[data-composer-input] inside [data-input-scroll] (plus the legacy textarea composer on lines up to 0.1.1-rc.2). This is not a published API (upstream proposal C3 records that plugins can only guess host DOM), so a future host DOM change can break interception silently. The compat workflow's jsdom smoke re-asserts that face against the packed bundle, keeping the regression out of releases.
No. It intercepts only in the plain input phase while the composer is focused; the slash menu, command popups, IME composition, text selections, and modifier combos always pass through, and Enter is never intercepted. Ctrl+R is consumed only inside the composer, never as a global shortcut. It provides no service key, registers no HTTP route, mutates no globals, and emits no session events. The point-by-point argument is in "Interoperability with other DSH plugins".
Pure front-end DOM/JS: no network, no model calls, and an ordinary recall is one setDraft. The default edgeMode: 'logical' keys off \n with zero measurement; visual mode measures real wraps through a hidden mirror — an O(lines·log n) binary search per edge check, memoized per draft and width.
No. Recall, snippet loads, template fills, and the /compact fill all go through the ordinary setDraft; Enter is never intercepted and no path sends for you. Recalled text leaves the browser only after you press Enter.
Security boundaries
- UI-only, never enforcement. The plugin edits the composer draft only; the sandbox, approval, and session systems remain the enforcement authorities, and no command or tool is ever claimed or bypassed.
- No content leaves the browser. History, snippets, templates, and insights live in
localStorage; nothing is uploaded, and no model request or network call is made. The versioned backup only writes a local download or the clipboard on an explicit click. - Fail loud. Invalid enum values fail the whole dsh boot; a malformed search chord fails the browser fiber — misconfiguration never silently degrades.
- Bounded everything.
maxHistory,maxPersisted, andmaxSnippetscap retained entries; corrupt or foreign payloads reset silently. - Zero side effects on pass-through. The plugin intercepts only in the
plaininput phase and yields to the slash menu, command popups, IME composition, text selections, and modifier combos.
Permissions & data
- Permissions: the plugin declares
browser:local-storagein its workshop manifest — nothing else. No network, no subprocesses, no session events. - Data: four browser-local
localStoragekeys (history, snippets, templates, insights); the rules are in FAQ #1 above — all bounded, same-origin only, never uploaded, and corrupt payloads reset silently. - Model-visible ⟺ you press Enter: recalled text, snippet loads, template fills, and the
/compactfill all land in the ordinary composer draft. Nothing reaches the model until you press Enter.
Known limitations
- Composer DOM face. Interception anchors on host-private DOM: the contenteditable
div[data-composer-input]inside[data-input-scroll](harness 0.1.2-alpha.5 / 0.1.2-rc.1 and later); the legacy textarea composer inside[data-input-scroll](lines up to 0.1.1-rc.2) stays matched. This shape is not a published API (upstream proposal C3 records that plugins can only guess host DOM), so a future host DOM change can break interception silently — the compat workflow's jsdom smoke re-asserts the face against the packed bundle. - Logical vs visual lines. Default
logicalkeys off\n(a long auto-wrapped message counts as one line);visualmeasures real wraps via a hidden mirror that copies the contenteditable surface's computed box (O(lines·log n) binary search per edge check, memoized per draft/width). Mirror measurement needs a real layout engine — the pure span math is unit-tested instead, and measured spans on the Lexical composer stay best-effort (logical remains the default). - Persisted history is per-browser. The store lives in one origin's
localStorage; it never syncs between browsers or machines. Corrupt payloads reset silently. - Undo stack includes recall transactions. Every fill/restore is one
setDrafttransaction in the input machine's undo log; Ctrl+Z steps back through recalls. The precision fix needs the upstream edit-range exposure. - Recalling a
/xxxentry then Enter follows the normal command claim/adjudication path (expected, and Enter is never intercepted). - Menus/popups and non-
plainphases always win; a committed send and session switches both reset to IDLE. - Reference chips (U+FFFC placeholders) ride along with recalled/restored draft text.
historyScope: 'workspace'reads the Chat targets of other listed sessions; a session whose Chat view has not been activated in this page contributes nothing yet.- The search overlay is plain DOM (no React dependency); it renders all matches up to the
maxHistorybound. - Compaction awareness is observational. Checkpoints landed before install (or before a session switch) never trigger a notice; a checkpoint whose summary event fell outside the loaded window contributes no
[compacted] …entry (summary: null). - The notice's "Compact now" action only fills the configured command text into the draft — sending remains the user's Enter.
- Snippets, templates, and insights are browser-local. Names are kebab-case (1..64 chars); tags cap at 8 × 32 chars. Template variables resolve from the live session;
{{draft}}is the draft at pick time.
Interoperability with other DSH plugins
The browser half rides only published client packages (dsh-client-ui-conversation, dsh-client-ui-input-trigger, dsh-client-ui-settings) and the cordis Context, so there is nothing to contend for at the plugin level:
- No session events, no agent-loop changes. The plugin only observes the Chat view's published conversation projection (
uiConversation.binding(id).target('chat').legacy.nodes); it appends no session events and makes no model requests. - No service keys. The host half has an empty
injectarray and provides no service key, so no service-key collision is possible. - No HTTP routes. It registers no
webServerprefix. - No global mutation. It does not patch prototypes, rewrite
process.env, or replace the global fetch dispatcher. - Self-owned settings surface. Since 0.1.7-alpha.1 it no longer registers a
composer-historynamespace; it uses its own liveConfigentry (the profile row id names the form) and reads or writes no other plugin's settings section. - Minimal interception. It intercepts only in the
plaininput phase while the composer is focused; menus/popups, IME, selections, and modifier combos always win;Enteris never intercepted.
The one coupling point is host-private DOM (div[data-composer-input]), recorded in Known limitation #1; the compat workflow's jsdom smoke re-asserts that face against the packed bundle, keeping such drift out of releases.
Compatibility
| Surface | Status |
|---|---|
| Harness | DeepSeek Harness dsh-v0.2.1-rc.2 (verified 2026-10-18): engines.dsh >=0.2.1-0 <0.3.0; the P0 compatibility paths have regression tests. |
| Node | ^22.19.0 || >=24.9.0 |
| Platforms | Web GUI only (client plugin; browser-local storage; no network, no native code) |
| Model | Any (no model requests — pure UI behavior) |
The browser half rides the published client packages (dsh-client-ui-conversation, dsh-client-ui-input-trigger, dsh-client-ui-settings) and the cordis Context; it no longer depends on the removed dsh-client-runtime package, so the client surface also lines up with 0.1.2-rc.1 hosts.
Interception anchors on the web composer's DOM: the contenteditable surface div[data-composer-input] inside [data-input-scroll] (the Lexical composer shipped since 0.1.2-alpha.5 / 0.1.2-rc.1), with the legacy textarea composer inside [data-input-scroll] (harness lines up to 0.1.1-rc.2) still matched; textareas elsewhere pass through. The compat workflow's jsdom web-behavior smoke asserts this identity/text/caret face against the packed bundle.
0.1.2-rc.1 (adapted 2026-09-04): the session envelope keeps its ignorable field for stored-log read compatibility only — Session.append still cannot stamp it, so audit-gate behavior is unchanged. Verified 2026-09-06 against the dsh-v0.1.7-alpha.1 master checkout (full gate chain + profile install smoke).
0.1.5-rc.1 (adapted 2026-09-10): dependency pins move to the published 0.1.5-rc.1 line; no seam change affects this plugin's behavior.
0.1.5-rc.2 (adapted 2026-09-11): dependency pins move to the published 0.1.5-rc.2 line; no seam change affects this plugin's behavior.
0.1.7-alpha.1 (adapted 2026-09-22): the settings seam is replaced on both halves. The host half no longer registers a composer-history namespace through the removed ctx.settings.register(ns, schema, { base }) — on this line a plugin's durable settings surface IS its own live Config: every tunable is declared .volatile(), the profile entry id (composer-history, the bundle patch's row id) names the form, and apply claims the generated-form presentation (ctx.settings.configure({ auto: true }, ctx.fiber), effect-owned so a reload re-registers cleanly). The browser half reads the same entry through ctx.configForms.get('composer-history') instead of the removed ctx.settingsScope.bind({ namespace }); the snapshot/subscribe shape is unchanged, so the wiring still reinstalls on every committed change. Editable surface is preserved, not widened: every field the old namespace exposed is volatile, and no new field became editable. An existing settings.yaml section named composer-history is migrated into the profile entry of the same id by the host itself.
