+ Part of &dactyl.appName;'s user efficiency comes at the cost of storing a
+ lot of potentially private data, including command-line history, page
+ marks, visited page history, and the like. Because we know that keeping a
+ detailed trail of all of your activities isn't always welcome,
+ &dactyl.appName; provides comprehensive facilities for erasing potentially
+ sensitive data.
+
+
+
Private mode browsing
+
+
+ &dactyl.appName; fully supports &dactyl.host;'s private browsing mode.
+ When in private browsing mode, no data other than Bookmarks and QuickMarks
+ are written to disk. Further, upon exiting private mode, all newly
+ accumulated data, including command-line history, local and URL
+ marks, and macros, are purged from memory. For more information, see
+ private.
+
+
+
Clearing private data
+
+
+ In addition to private mode, &dactyl.appName; provides a comprehensive
+ facility for clearing any potentially sensitive data generated by either
+ &dactyl.appName; or &dactyl.host;. It directly integrates with
+ &dactyl.host;'s own sanitization facility, and so automatically clears any
+ domain data and session history when requested. Further, &dactyl.appName;
+ provides its own more granular sanitization facility, which allows, e.g.,
+ clearing only the command-line and macro history for the past ten minutes.
+
+ Clear private data items for timespan, where item …
+ is a list of private items to delete. If ! is specified,
+ then sanitizeitems is used for the list of items to delete.
+ Items may be any of:
+
+
+
+

+
+ When history items are sanitized, all command-line
+ history items containing URLs or page titles (other than bookmark
+ commands) are additionally cleared. Invocations of the
+ :sanitize command are included in this set.
+
+
+
+ If timespan (short name -t) is specified, only
+ items within that timespan are deleted, otherwise the value of
+ sanitizetimespan is used. If -older (short name
+ -o) is specified, then only items older than
+ timespan are deleted.
+
+
+
+ The following items are always cleared entirely, regardless of
+ timeframe: cache, host, offlineapps,
+ passwords, sessions, sitesettings.
+ Conversely, host and options are never cleared
+ unless a host is specified.
+
+
+
+ If host (short name -h) is specified, only items
+ containing a reference to that domain or a subdomain thereof are
+ cleared. Moreover, if either of commandline or
+ history is specified, the invocation of the
+ :sanitize command is naturally cleared as well.
+
+
+
+ This only applies to commandline, cookies,
+ history, marks, messages,
+ options, and sitesettings. All other
+ domain-specific data is cleared only along with host,
+ when a request is made to &dactyl.host; to purge all data for
+ host. Included in this purge are all matching history
+ entries, cookies, closed tabs, form data, and location bar
+ entries.
