not-vim is a zsh plugin that provides a function that shames the user for forgetting they weren't in vim
Add this to your zinit config (.zshrc):
zinit light redxtech/zsh-not-vim
# it also works with turbo mode:
zinit ice wait lucid
zinit load redxtech/zsh-not-vimInstall it with your favourite zsh package manager, or clone it directly to your
$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins directory with git, and add zsh-not-vim to the plugins
array in your .zshrc file:
plugins=(... zsh-not-vim)not-vim is very easy to use, simply run the command:
not-vimThis is mainly used by aliasing :q, :w, and :x to not-vim, (automatcally
handled by this plugin) so if you accidentally try to run one of those commands
in the shell, you will be made aware!
I made this because when I was getting started with neovim I found myself
trying to run :q or :x to close my shell, and I wanted a humourous way
of reminding myself that I was not in vim. I converted it into a plugin
in case anyone else had the same experience.
You are able to change the program that zsh-not-vim used to shame you for
forgetting that you aren't in vim (by default it uses cowsay).
For example, to use yosay instead, add this line to your .zshrc:
zstyle :plugins:not-vim say yosay
# to use different cowsay options:
zstyle :plugins:not-vim say cowsay -f vaderzsh-not-vim will pipe the text into whatever command you specify with this
options and will print the result to stdout.
