    • In Removing history items from address bar is too easy to accidentally trigger

      The new feature allowing history items to be removed from the address bar auto complete menu is really easy to trigger accidentally. Also, it seems like the removed items are permanently blocked from re-appearing? I may be wrong on this point, it’s possible that it’s just scored so low that it doesn’t appear because the visit count is set back to zero?

      In any event, I think it’s quite a usability issue.

      Potential mitigations:

      • Support ⌘ + z to undo the deletion (I tried this having accidentally deleted an item and it didn’t seem to have any effect)
      • Require confirmation of deletion
      • Require a control key to be held down for the remove button to appear (perhaps hold ⌘ for it to appear and also allow ⌘ + delete/backspace to be used to delete the selected item)
      • Add the ability to disable the feature in settings

      • In Search suggestions doesn't contain all items from history

        Steps to reproduce:

        Type part of the title or URL of a webpage that you’ve visited in the past—but not for at least a couple of weeks—into the address bar.

        Expected behavior:

        The address bar autocomplete menu lists the webpage under the History section.

        Actual behavior:

        The webpage is not listed in the autocomplete menu.

        Notes:

        I use Orion on two different Macs and on both of them the address bar will currently autocomplete history items from the last 11 days, but will not autocomplete history items 12 days or older.

        Orion, OS version; hardware type:

        Orion Version 0.99.124.4.1-beta (WebKit 616.1.14.11.1); macOS Ventura 13.4.1; 2020 Intel MacBook Air & 2023 M2 Mac mini.
