ZEW
provides organized key bindings for various command line editing features.
Original features are used to make user not depart from mainstream Zsh.
Organized shortcuts for various command line editing operations, plus new operations (e.g. incremental history word completion).
Incremental history word completing (started withAlt+h, Alt+H or Option+h, Option+H on Mac).
Key(s) Description Alt+w Delete a shell word 1 Alt+t Transpose (swap) shell words Alt+m Copy previous shell word, or word before that, etc. when used multiple times Alt+M Just copy previous shell word without iterating to previous ones Alt+. Copy last shell word from previous line, or line before that, etc. when used multiple times; can be combined with Alt+m Ctrl+W Delete word according to configured word style 2: Alt+r Transpose (swap) words according to configured word style (cursor needs to be placed on beginning of word to swap) Alt+/ Complete some word 3 from history Alt+h, Alt+H Complete shell word from history (custom version) Alt+J Break line Alt+_ UndoAdd zi load z-shell/zsh-editing-workbench
to .zshrc
. The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew
.
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
.
Add antigen bundle z-shell/zsh-editing-workbench
to .zshrc
. There also should be antigen apply
. The config files will be in ~/.config/znt
.
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"Configure terminals
To make Alt key work like expected under XTerm
add XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
to your resource file, e.g.:
echo 'XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true' >> ~/.Xresources
To make Alt key work like expected under Konsole
add Konsole*keysym.Meta: Meta
to your resource file, e.g.:
echo 'Konsole*keysym.Meta: Meta' >> ~/.config/konsolerc
A shell word is a text that Zsh would see as single segment. For example $(( i + 1 ))
is a single shell word. ↩
A word style defines a way Zsh recognizes segments (words) of text in commands that want to use the style information.
$WORDCHARS
.$WORDCHARS
value.Some word is in general a sophisticated word, but not a shell word, because of limitations in Zsh history word completion. Some word is rather not build from special characters, it works well for normal characters. ↩
