Unsetting a parameter is done with the built-in unset unset PARAMETER unsets PARAMETER. This can be done as soon as you no longer need PARAMETER, at the end of the file or anywhere inbetween. “Best practice” depends highly on the use case: In the case of colors you probably want them to be available from … Read more
This is a zsh feature that prints a percent-and-newline after a command completes if that command does not already include a newline at the end of its output. If zsh did not do this, you would either not ever notice the fact that the command didn’t print a newline – or you’d see zsh’s command … Read more
bindkey -v is enough to enable vi mode in ZSH. If you are worried the setting will be overwritten by another plugin, put the setting at the bottom of your ~/.zshrc. After vi mode is enabled, you enter the “insert” mode by default. To enter “normal” mode, use Esc. And i or a to switch … Read more
ZSH: $ unsetopt CASE_GLOB Or, if you don’t want to enable case-insensitive globbing in general, you can activate it for only the varying part: $ print -l (#i)(somelongstring)* This will match any file that starts with “somelongstring” (in any combination of lower/upper case). The case-insensitive flag applies for everything between the parentheses and can be … Read more
I was running into this problem just now, too. I had my call pathogen#infect() line in my .vimrc just fine, but was getting the E185: Cannot find color scheme solarized error, like you. I moved my call pathogen#infect() up to the top of my .vimrc and all is swell now. Try that if you’re still … 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
I’ve found it more non-destructive to actually prepend the time to the existing prompt without overriding it completely. This makes it work with any existing theme without interfering with its styling. Add this at the end of your .zshrc file. You can type the command nano ~/.zshrc to edit it using nano: PROMPT=’%{$fg[yellow]%}[%D{%f/%m/%y} %D{%L:%M:%S}] ‘$PROMPT … 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
Why is it not interpreting the escape characters returned by git-prompt_info and others correctly? The answer is most likely that multi-term just isn’t prepared to accept those escape sequences, in that format, for whatever reason. This may be a configuration issue, bug, or intentional. Setting the mode to accept colors, i.e. TERM=xterm-256color, improves the situation … Read more
