⚙️ Editing Workbench
Organized shortcuts for various command line editing operations, plus new operations (e.g. incremental history word completion).
Incremental history word completing (started with Alt-h/H or Option-h/H on Mac):
Install Zsh Editing Workbench
With ZI
Add zi load z-shell/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc. The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew.
With Zgen
Add zgen load z-shell/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc and issue a zgen reset (this assumes that there is a proper zgen save construct in .zshrc). The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew.
With Antigen
Add antigen bundle z-shell/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc. There also should be antigen apply. The config files will be in ~/.config/znt.
Manual Installation
After extracting ZEW to {some-directory} add following two lines to ~/.zshrc:
fpath+=( {some-directory} )source "{some-directory}/zsh-editing-workbench.plugin.zsh"As you can see, no plugin manager is needed to use the *.plugin.zsh file. The above two lines of code are all that almost all plugin managers do. In fact, what's actually needed is only:
source "{some-directory}/zsh-editing-workbench.plugin.zsh"
because ZEW detects if it is used by any plugin manager and can handle $fpath update by itself.
Configuring terminals
XTerm
To make Alt key work like expected under XTerm add XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true to your resource file, e.g.:
echo 'XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true' >> ~/.Xresources
