zsh: Syntax Highlighting, vi-mode, Autocomplete, more

[kickbuttowski]

I am a simple man. When I see luke videos, I watch and copy his config.

You know it's a Zoomer shell, as the next macOS update Catalina will replace Bash with Zsh.

Very useful config! I especially like the "Change cursor shape for different vi modes" part. Only a true Vi user can appreciate and come up with that. Thanks Luke!

Luke never came back to the internet. He turned half-boomer, half-luddite and ranted forever in the woods.
Although he wished for minimalism, he couldn't subtract his own existance. So eventually, he stopped thinking.

I just realized I've been watching you for a year. Glad you're alive again, man.

[cookiedestroyer]

But Luke since you've been gone we've given up on the vim meme. Now Emacs is by best friend.

[SriHarshaChilakapati]

What I like in zsh is that I can type vi s/m/j/c/g/s/M and press Tab to have it expanded to vi automatically. Very very handy when dealing with Git diffs and edit conflicted files or add individual files with patches.

You don't need to type "cd <path>" in zsh, you only need to type the path itself (see AUTO_CD in 'man zshoptions'). And what's more, since the typed path will autocomplete, you would only type for example "/e/c/i<tab><enter>" instead of "cd /etc/cups/interfaces" or similar.

God bless, Luke. Hope you're well. Thanks for the continuous videos, helping me hone my craft.

Is Luke's anprim internet finally good enough to upload regularly?

[strakhov]

Thank you so much, that was helpful!

For hjkl navigation, I think it makes more sense to remap Alt+hjkl to behave like arrows on the OS level rather than setting up every app. On Windows it's easily done with PowerToys, on Linux you have xkb.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
That's why I love vlarbs

[towesc]

thanks man for sharing. I love the lf key shortcut integration to navigate to a folder, it went straight into my zsh config, brilliant.

[Keenencates]

Thanks Luke! I honestly didn't know how cool zsh was until I saw this

[dephy]

Thank you for your video. I spent hours trying to find a simple answer that every other page over complicated or skipped over.

[gbroton]

You forgot about cool option, I'm not sure if it is by default but if you enter "d" command it gives you history of all used directories, and than using num buttons you can easily navigate to it.

[Yas-gscm]

Prophet came to release us from demonic Oh-My-Zsh config!

[al-dulb]

been running your config for like a month. Lovin it.

[stellarorbit]

I love watching Luke do things I will never do.

Edit-and-execute-command (feature to open current command in $EDITOR) actually exists in bash as well, and it's bind to Ctrl-x + Ctrl-e by default :)
