Yakuake terminal not saving bash history
I love KDE and Kubuntu. I also love Yakuake for quick access to a terminal however one thing that's always bugged me is the fact that it doesn't store your command history when you exit.
I've just found the ideal solution:
In your .bashrc file (create it in your home directory if it doesn't exist already) add:
shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'Now, the history in an active session will act the same as always has - one session's history will not interfere with another existing session but whenever you start a new session, whether that's in a pane, tab or even another terminal such as Konsole, the history will be available from all terminals.
It might sound complicated but this behaviour is exactly what you would want and expect and is the same as how any other terminal behaves.
