Do you use Zsh plugins? If you do, which ones are your favorites?

[crisp]

I prefer fzf (available as a zsh plugin) for searching command history. Might be worth a look.

[Taddy_Mason]

Switched to Fish a few months ago and it just works. I also feel everything is much cleaner in terms of maintenance.

[rlstrength]

I'm in the same boat, fish not being posix compliant is a dealbreaker for me
A lot of people seem to be using oh-my-zsh but I found it very difficult to track down issues when something doesn't go right, so I'm also using regular old zsh includes. Everything that uses fzf or skim is usually a productivity win
Would be personally interested in a video explaining what kind of perf issues you had

[barefeg]

Another must have for me is fzf for fuzzy searching the history

[dustee]

Speaking about not being POSIX compliant, nushell seems to be gaining some popularity lately.

[IvanRizzante]

Thanks for another great video 🎉 I had 2 out of 3 installed I'll definitely need to give the history plugin a try! By the way you need to tell us why you abandoned oh my zsh😅

[Requiem]

I want to use zsh-autosuggestions, but I can't because it breaks ctrl-w/ctrl-y copy/paste flow

[mathiasgebbe]

You look good and healthy. That makes me happy

[marcin_kulik]

when is the video on why you abandoned oh-my-zsh coming? :)

[robdewhirst]

please do explain why you abandoned Oh My Zsh. Zsh-z is another plugin I rely on.

[yyev]

Victor thank you for another great video. May I ask what's so wrong with bash compared to zsh?

[jcroyoaun]

for substring history, isn't it the same as pressing Ctrl+R?

btw, I've always had issues preserving my history ever since I moved to zsh. It seems that having multiple ttys open may cause some issues because I randomly have some commands I ran on one tab, but not the ones from the rest of the tabs. If I restart my Mac, it also doesn't preserve most of the things like it used to when I used Linux machines, its personally one of the things that annoyed me the most at first when I switched over to zsh (or MacOS really), but its also my fault because I've really never looked into what the issue is, I just know I've owned 3 macs and they all have the same problem. Any thoughts :)?

[conradtaylor]

Yes, I would like to hear why you migrated from OhMyZsh to Starship.

[theangelofspace]

I use fig, i think thet got bought by amazon.

[wladyx]

think zsh has substring search built in, this is what I use:
```
# bind up and down arrow to search in history
autoload -U up-line-or-beginning-search
autoload -U down-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N up-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N down-line-or-beginning-search
bindkey "^[[A" up-line-or-beginning-search # Up
bindkey "^[[B" down-line-or-beginning-search # Down
```
