A little late with this one, sorry! I spent the last couple of weeks recovering from flu
Caveats
This is a pre-release, and is not as tested as a production build
It may not always be easy and without manual steps to downgrade from a weekly build to the last stable. It will be possible to upgrade automatically to the next stable after a weekly.
Weekly builds are more likely to contain bugs or regressions. They are unlikely to lose data, but do be cautious when running the bleeding edge.
Weekly builds may contain functionality not yet in a production release. Please let us know what you think!

Testing
A few things to test here!
Adjusted fuzzy search scoring
Enable with smart_sort = true. This will sort search items with the following priority
Prefer results prefixed with command
Prefer results containing the command in its entirety
Bias by more recent commands
Later, I’d like to also bias by directory, etc. When it comes to release time I’d like to make this the default, especially for fuzzy searching.
Keybind prefix
I’ve added a key binding prefix, like tmux/screen. This is because common editing shortcuts have used up all the other available shortcuts, and changing them is often contentious.
The current prefix is ctrl-a. The only binding that uses it at present is ctrl-a d, to delete a history result without opening the inspector.
Tested on commits from the weekly tag up to the latest 894eaa6faff8.
Oh, the smart sort is so amazing I did not know how much I needed this. It seems to work well. Hmm, I think there should be a prefix similar to ^ which would possibly disable the smart sort for the current search? Not sure. My use case is this:
I want to get to some command containing atuin, but not prefixed by atuin. For example, I can type <space>atuin (whitespace followed by atuin) to disable the prefix search. But if the command did not have space (probably very unlikely, but possible, something like makeatuin alias, for example), getting to the command is slow. This is because the prefix search mode is too aggressive. I would say that there needs to be a quick disable smart sort and show commands ordered by last use datetime instead, as in the normal fuzzy search.
Example
As can be seen in the example, the prefixes completely clog up my fullscreen Atuin window, even if I ran them 1 month ago only once, but I cannot get to the open Atuin config I ran 16 mins ago. I think there needs to be maybe a shortcut to temporarily disable the prefix search or smart sort in general.

The keybind prefix needs, in my opinion, a visual response to the user that is it active, similarly like switching modes in Vim, and ideally when the prefix is performed, show the available commands at the top instead of the general commands such as switching to inspector, etc. For example, have a look at GitUI and how they show the contextual keybindings at the bottom, if you switch between different panes (status, log, files, etc.), or start a specific operation (rebase etc.), the keybindings change depending on the context and currently active “input modes”.
ctrl-a d is a wonderful shortcut. I will be using it a lot, I presume.
Are you really asking me? (You replied to my comment.) I believe the question might be rather for @ellie
But here’s my take on this: in theory it’s not a bad idea, on the other side I wouldn’t want SW to send data anywhere unless I allow it. So if it is guarded via an option, I’d be ok with it. Otherwise I would have to add firewall rules so that atuin can’t access anything except my sync server.
