ZSH people: I keep thinking I should switch from ancient Bash to ZSH on my Mac, and each time I try it I last about two minutes. Is there a simple way to make its tab completion not overwrite stuff I've already typed? And not put random spaces in the middle of paths that it's completing so that the next tab starts again from the current directory instead of adding the next path component? Everyone tells me zsh has much better completion support than bash, but I want it to do the baseline stuff as well before I start trying the complicated things. #zsh

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Not a bash user but I do have all of: .zshenv .zshrc .zlogin .zlogout I also have a hack in my .profile and .kshrc that forces interactive login shells over to zsh if the names service listed ksh as my login. I first wrote that hack in the mid 90’s at uni and it still gets used today! #zsh

@cR0w@infosec.exchange if you type Alt+Dot (or Esc,Dot), it shows the previous command's final argument. Do it again for the command before that. Alt+{2,Dot} (holding Alt, press 2 then Dot) gets the penultimate argument. Keep holding Alt so you can press Dot to go to older commands. #bash & #zsh

Bringing down my ZSH load times from ~3.1s to ~230ms https://iam.mt/bringing-down-my-zsh-load-times-from-3-1s-to-230ms/ #HackerNews #Tech #Zsh

@matt303@cyberplace.social It's fairly simple. I have a pre-written .zshrc that I copy over that avoids going through the configuration utility at first use. I avoid #OhMyZSH, which over the years seems to be the actual source of most people's woes. It does not seem to do anything that I actually want that stock #zsh does not do.
