Installation With Zplugin
Add zplugin load psprint/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc. The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew.
Add zgen load psprint/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 psprint/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"because ZEW detects if it is used by any plugin manager and can
handle $fpath update by itself.
Organized shortcuts for various command line editing operations, plus new operations (e.g. incremental history word completion).
