mntzrr/auto-ls

zsh plugin for auto-ls

Auto-ls

There are many auto-lss out there but this one is mine.

Features

• Custom command on cwd/enter-key
• Auto ls on cwd
• Auto ls on enter-key (with empty buffer)
• Git status on a git work tree

Modification

By default uses exa instead of ls if it is available. Removed additional newlines, where possible, from output.

Install

• Manual

  curl -L https://git.io/auto-ls > /path/to/auto-ls.zsh
  source /path/to/auto-ls.zsh
  

• Antigen

  antigen bundle desyncr/auto-ls
  

• zplugin

  zplugin ice wait'0' lucid
  zplugin load desyncr/auto-ls
  

Configuration

• AUTO_LS_COMMANDS: Use this configuration option to define the functions to run on cwd/enter-key.

Example: AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status)

• AUTO_LS_NEWLINE: Configure ls to put a newline (Default: true).

Example: AUTO_LS_NEWLINE=false

• AUTO_LS_PATH: Detect command full path to execute (Default: true).

Example: AUTO_LS_PATH=false

• AUTO_LS_CHPWD: Enable/disable auto-ls on directory change (Default: true)

Example: AUTO_LS_CHPWD=false

Customization

You can configure commands in order to execute on cwd/ls, example:

AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status '/usr/bin/git log')
# Or...
AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status '[[ -d $PWD/.git ]] && /usr/bin/git log|head')

You may redefine default functions or define custom functions to be run on cwd/enter-key:

• Before loading auto-ls define a function to be executed:

  auto-ls-custom_function () {
    echo "Current directory list:"
    ls -ltra
  }
  

  • Be sure to call it auto-ls-<name of your function>.

• Configure auto-ls to load your function. Put the following line before sourcing auto-ls:

  AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(custom_function)
  

  • Only use <name of your function> rather than auto-ls-<name of your function>.

You may as well load the default functions, ls and git-status:

 AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status custom_function)

Future

• zstyle options to customize ls options
• zstyle options to customize git status
