My education continues :)
Bit shamefull me being a Red Hat/Fedora user since Red Hat 2 !
A combination of age and things having gotten to easy I suspect.
Not having needed history, I certainly didn't know about it. I have used the
"leaves" plugin, and like many things in Linux it may do what you tell it and
not what you meant. However, in general that does what you want, and is easier
to use but less selective than history. Particularly if history has rolled on
since the change of interest.
Glad you found multiple ways to address the problem.
