When you search for something in a document in Zathura, or you try to run a command with `:`, you can press the up key to scroll through your history of previous commands/searches you've done. Does anyone know how to clear this history? I've searched around and read the zathura and zathurarc manpages but they don't seem to mention a way to clear the history. Or even to just manually delete specific entries would be fine.

Unless configured to do otherwise, Zathura keeps that in an SQLite database located in “$XDG_DATA_HOME/zathura/bookmarks.sqlite”.
To edit the database: make sure zathura isn’t running and invoke:
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/zathura/bookmarks.sqlite
This is going to start the interactive SQLite shell in which you can issue SQL statements. History table is named “history”.
To see all entries:
select * from "history";
To delete an entry:
delete from "history" where "line" = 'showMeCatPictures';
To delete all entries:
delete from "history";
Other useful commands: `.exit`quits the interactive shell, `.help` shows shell’s commands, `.tables` lists tables, `.schema TABLENAME` shows TABLENAME’s schema.
Relevant docs: delete, select.

Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!
