It's just a word. It feels strange to me to call URL history by name that includes "eww" as a substring. IMO it should be a general URL history, like we have for files. But that's just one opinion. > I could make the argument that URLs visited via browse-url are > passed to an external browser, so it's not up to Emacs to remember > that history, unlike ones visited internally using EWW. url-history.el seems to disagree. > >> ++++ > >> +*** The new user variable 'eww-separate-history' causes eww to use a > >> +separate minibuffer history if non-nil > > > > Period at the end of a sentence, and also EWW should be capitalized, I > > think. > > > > Btw, I see lately some kind of tendency to write long multi-line > > sentences at the beginning of NEWS entries.

I'll see > what I can do to cut down the initial sentence. Thanks. In many cases, like this one, it's very simple: *** New user variable 'eww-separate-history'. If non-nil, this causes EWW to use a separate minibuffer history. The default is nil.
