Sorry, there is a small problem the above solution. It doesn't seem to show
the current history, but rather I can only access my history before elinks was
killed. So we have to first save the history before vim is called on the file.
Actually the solution would be to allow Lua to call C functions inside the
elinks. You can have a function called as 'library_call', and this would
actually enable you to access a function directly. The function that saves
global history is called "write_global_history". Is there some way I can access
that function through lua?
Thanks.
