This Zsh config is perhaps my favorite one yet.

When it comes to working in the terminal. I like to keep things functional, whilst also trying to keep my environment as zenful as possible.
Recently I've managed to create what I think is the most zenful zsh config out there, which also has a number of powerful interactive features such as fuzzy finding for completions and history.

@Drezaem55 Ай бұрын

I did the same a while back. But since I recently started sharing scripts with others I ran into the issue that some scripts have to be sourced (this allows the script to cd the users shell). Now I either have to write the scripts twice (in posix and fish), or have to find ways around the issue. I was already thinking of switching back to zsh, but I couldn't figure out how to decently do the history searching with the up arrow. And now with this tutorial that is fixed so I'm making the switch back.

@JeffBigler Ай бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion of fzf-tab, I hadn't heard of it yet and it's awesome. I did notice that the order you are loading some of the plugins can cause issues, so you might want to double check those. For example, fzf-tab warns: `fzf-tab needs to be loaded after compinit, but before plugins which will wrap widgets, such as zsh-autosuggestions or fast-syntax-highlighting`

@Zh4n6Wu 27 күн бұрын

This is exactly my problem. fzf-tab does not work for me. When I press TAB, nothing happens.

@dreamsofautonomy 27 күн бұрын

So normally this would be an issue, but zinit should handle completion loading in the correct ordering!

This video pushed me to analyze my zsh startup timings ( I use ohmyzsh ). After a little bit off fiddling I managed to add all the functionality you added to your config and reduce the startup time to 0.08s by lazy loading nvm and removing slow plugins (turns out that omz git plugin was the main culprit, as soon as i removed it I got a 10x improvement in startup times. I wasn't really using it since I prefer lazygit btw)

A couple things to consider: HISTDUP=erase might trip you up occasionally when you want to recall a sequence of commands that you run previously. Since duplicate entries get removed, you might not be able to reproduce the exact steps. `setopt sharehistory` is nice but with it on you can't rely on the fact that Up arrow or Ctrl+P gives you the previously run command in that tab/pane. I kept running wrong commands and eventually disabled it 😀An alternative is copying the command you want to run, Ctrl+O is the keybinding in my setup (I think it's the default from either ZSH itself or OhMyZSH).

@VeitLehmann Ай бұрын

Really nice config, very similar to mine! 😅 I also use p10k (lean theme, the rest is like yours), fzf and a similar overall configuration. But instead of zinit, I use zgenom (unofficial successor of zgen), also with some ohmyzsh plugins. Instead of zoxide, I'm still on zsh-z. I'm running this setup almost unchanged since at least 5 years now.

Hi, I really like the content you create, thank you for that. I also customized neovim and tmux, but when I connect to a remote server, it's just a regular command line :( Do you minimally customize the appearance on the remote server? Or when you need to write code or configure something (for example, nginx), do you do it on your local machine and then copy it to the server? I'm just wondering)

@dreamsofautonomy 12 күн бұрын

Personally, I keep my personal machines in sync with stow (or home-manager for nix systems) and any production / VPS servers I tend to leave by default. This helps to reduce the number of dependencies on those machines, but also I'm able to tell when I'm remote vs when I'm on a personal computer.
