yes indeed,
but as i mentioned in the beginning,
i can't consult the current history in a side pane,
only with option /s
(while still running the psql session)

(side note:
$ echo $PSQL_HISTORY (is empty)

$ psql
psql (12.5 (Debian 12.5-1.pgdg100+1))
Type "help" for help.
# \set HISTFILE /tmp/test
# select 1;

has no effect, /tmp/test is not created,
everything is put into ~.psql_history )

(debian specific?, intended?, or bug?)

In India, "cold weather" is merely a conventional phrase and has come into
use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather
which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy.
