magic-enter

Make your enter key magical by binding a Zsh command to it

Description

Customization

You can define your own magic-enter commands using the following zstyles.

zstyle -s ':zshzoo:magic-enter' command 'ls -laFh .'
zstyle -s ':zshzoo:magic-enter' git-command 'git status -sb .'

You can also define your own magic-enter-cmd function. Whatever it prints is what will be run when no other command is given. You can use this if you want to extend the command beyond just looking for a git repo.

function magic-enter-cmd {
  if [[ -n "$$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]]; then
    echo "python3 --version"
  else
    echo "ls -laFh ."
  fi
}
