Nice, I don't use HISTIGNORE so I wasn't aware of that one. Sounds like the right solution and a good project for someone who wants that functionality.

If someone wants to work on this, I recommend creating a function called history_ignore that would provide functionality similar to the way the HISTIGNORE variable works in bash.  That makes sense to me given that Octave's history_control function is similar to the HISTCONTROL variable in bash.

Point 2 is addressed with the history_control function, in either GUI or terminal. Call


history_control ("ignoredups");


to ignore duplicate consecutive commands. Add this to your octaverc file to make the change permanent (I use this setting).

In Matlab, there is an option to omit certain commands in the command history:
1) "exit", "quit"
2) consecutive commands

It would be nice to have such an option in Octave, also.
