Extracted from my dotfiles as a zsh plugin, these represent some basic shell settings according to my preferences.
zplug instructions:
zplug "thelonelyghost/zsh-base"
- zsh history (think Ctrl-R)
- size is extended to be more lines
- stored in
~/.zhistory - ignores duplicate command invocations
- append to
~/.zhistoryas it happens, not at the end of the shell session
vi-style keybindings, except certain exceptions:- Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E go to the beginning and end of the current line, respectively
- Ctrl-K erases everything after the cursor
- Ctrl-R searches prior command history, starting with most recent invocation matching the typed fragment
- Ctrl-T re-queues the last command, but prefixed with
sudo
- Allow
[and]without unexpected shell expansion - Enables extended globbing (e.g.,
**/*) - Treat
# this is a commentas an actual comment in the interactive shell session
