It seems I had issues with locale configuration and non UTF8 configuration In my case the fix was: export LC_ALL=”en_US.UTF-8″ and keep it permanent adding the line to .zshrc: echo “export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8” >> .zshrc More info in Ubuntu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
When defining a function, you cannot specify required arguments. That’s why using both the function keyword and parens () seems useless to me. To get the passed arguments, use positional parameters. The positional parameters provide access to the command-line arguments of a shell function, shell script, or the shell itself; […] The parameter n, where … Read more
I figured this out. It was due to my config file. The part of the zsh config that wasn’t loading needed to be moved down after the plugins load. After moving that it all worked as expected.
It seems that the RM_STAR_SILENT is NOT in effect. You could do setopt rmstarsilent either in the command line or in ~/.zshrc to tell zsh to not confirm a rm *. The shell option RM_STAR_SILENT is: Do not query the user before executing rm * or rm path/*. — zshoptions(1): RM_STAR_SILENT If you want to … Read more

Add this in the position in PS1 where you want the exit code to appear: %(?..[%?] ) It’s a conditional expression. The part between the two dots (nothing in this case) is output if the expression before the first dot is true. The part after the second dot is output if it’s false. For example: … Read more
What says setopt ? Maybe you have the option SHARE_HISTORY set. You can unset it with setopt no_share_history or unsetopt share_history. For more options look in man zshoptions.
Add this to your .zshrc: SAVEHIST=1000 # Save most-recent 1000 lines HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
You might want to try and remove any .zcompdump-(…) files you may have on your user’s home directory – using something like rm ~/.zcompdump* on a terminal, or some file browser – and then reload the .zschrc file with the command source ~/.zshrc or restart the terminal – whichever works best for you.
