#ZSH

2026-02-13

@matt303

It's fairly simple. I have a pre-written .zshrc that I copy over that avoids going through the configuration utility at first use.

I avoid #OhMyZSH, which over the years seems to be the actual source of most people's woes. It does not seem to do anything that I actually want that stock #zsh does not do.

Du bist viel auf dem Terminal am hacken? Oder willst damit bald mal anfangen?

Wie mein Terminal aussieht und warum ich ZSH nutze, habe ich hier aufgeschrieben.

A dark-themed openSUSE Tumbleweed desktop screenshot featuring the Niri Wayland compositor and Dank Linux shell terminal. A centered terminal window displays an Oh My Zsh update message with large rainbow "oh my zsh" ASCII art; green status text confirms Oh My Zsh is already up to date, followed by several bright green URLs. At the bottom, two small pill-shaped status widgets show icons and a timer reading "00:47:38," set against a dark background with a stylized penguin-in-a-hat logo on the lower left and a minimalist top bar displaying time, date, weather, and system icons.

Anyone know what determines if zsh closes the window or shows "zsh: do you wish to see all 3867 possibilities (1934 lines)?" when one hits Control + D on a macbook (in iTerm)?

I can't really see any pattern, but it printing the later is sometimes is quite annoying...

"In diesem Vortrag stelle ich euch die grml-zsh-config vor, eine Konfiguration der Z Shell (zsh), die viele sinnvolle Voreinstellungen für das effiziente Arbeiten mitbringt."

ZLE is the programmable engine behind every zsh keystroke. Most people never touch it. That's a lot of power left on the table.

Sent a friend an article about the #bash manual being part of the Epstein Files - his answer was "And THAT'S why I use #zsh !"

The Bash reference manual is present, in full, in the Epstein files (Jan 26 batch).

Apple changed the default shell of Mac OS X from bash to zsh in October 2019, a matter of weeks before Epstein was found dead in his cell.

WHAT DID THEY KNOW?

Released zsh-abbr v6.5.0. Most notably, the command line-processing features that let it expand text and place the cursor as you type are now available outside the plugin.

abbr-expand-line processes text input and populates an associative array with data that can answer questions like "would zsh-abbr expand an abbreviation?" and "what would the LBUFFER and RBUFFER be like after hitting the spacebar".

abbr-set-line-cursor does the work of zsh-abbr's opt-in "if text didn't expand, move the cursor to a marker" feature.

Technically a refactor, but for would-be extension authors it should open doors.

An "easter egg" in zsh: zsh includes a tetris game, which can be played with the following commands:
autoload -Uz tetris
M-x tetris (or ESC : tetris if you are using vim key bindings)
It also includes a ncurses version:
autoload -Uz tetriscurses
tetriscurses

@fbfortune Great tip!

In / , you can just type ‘r + Enter’ and it also immediately pulls up the last command and runs it. It’s an alias for ‘hist - s’ or ‘fc -s’

In or , if ‘!! + Enter’ is only expanding the previous command but not executing, it’s because histverify is on. To turn it off, add this to your ~/.bashrc:

shopt -u histverify

——————

shopt = shell options command
-u = unset
