*It's dangerous out there!* here are some scripts to help you on your shell adventures.



**This repo** is a collection of personal preferences and configuration settings

I've gathered and tweaked from around the web. Use them wisely and share.



## Installation



This requires [Homebrew][brew] and [Homebrew Bundle][bundle] in OS X. Use the

following to install all deps:



```bash

xcode-select --install

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew update && brew bundle

```



### Helper functions



Util scripts and helper functions are linked under the

`$BREW_PATH/share/zsh/site-functions` folder. These should be included in

`$fpath`.



These include the [syntax-highlighting] and [zsh-completions] plugins and `z` so

you can [zump around][z].



> **NOTE**: If completions aren't working for some reason, you might want to try

> rebuilding the cache:



```bash

rm -f ~/.zcompdump; compinit

```



You can compile the additional helpers via the following:



```bash

rm -f functions/*.zwc

for f (functions/*) zcompile $f

```



```bash

export BREW_PATH=$(brew --prefix)



ln -s "$HOME/github/zsh-history-substring-search/zsh-history-substring-search.zsh" $BREW_PATH/share/zsh/site-functions

ln -s "$HOME/github/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" $BREW_PATH/share/zsh/site-functions

ln -s "$HOME/github/z/z.sh" $BREW_PATH/share/zsh/site-functions/z.zsh



ln -s "$HOME/github/zsh-completions/src" $BREW_PATH/share/zsh/vendor-completions

```



## Misc



Disable analytics, link autocompletions by default:



```bash

brew analytics off && \

brew completions link

```



Install public keys on host:



```bash

curl -sSL https://github.com/${USERNAME}.keys -o ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

```



### Console shortcuts



Some of these were originally available on [Stefan Klumpp's Geek!mind][geekmind]

and are a nice reminder of how to get things done quicker.



`Ctrl+A` - Move to the **beginning** of the line


`Ctrl+E` - Move to the **end** of the line


`Alt+B` - Move one word **backward**


`ALT+F` - Move one word **forward**


`Ctrl+U` - **Clear** the **entire line**


`Ctrl+K` - **Clear** the characters on the line **after the current cursor position**


`Ctrl+W` | `Ctrl+Backspace` - **Delete** the word **in front of the cursor**


`Alt+D` - **Delete** the word **after** the cursor


`Ctrl+R` - **Search history** (press again to find *next* match, pressing `Right arrow` allows you to edit current selected value)


`Ctrl+S` - **Forward-search history** Useful for those times when you went *one `Ctrl+R` too far*. Remember to issue a `stty -ixon` on your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` configuration to unbind XON/XOFF occurrences


`Ctrl+G` - **Quit** *search mode*


`Ctrl+_` - **Undo last change**


`Ctrl+L` - **Clear** screen


`Ctrl+S` - **Stop** output to screen


`Ctrl+Q` - **Re-enable** screen output


`Ctrl+C` - **Terminate/kill** current foreground process


`Ctrl+Z` - **Suspend/stop** current foreground process



See the `bindkey` builtin for a more extensive list.



## Load order



.zshenv → [.zprofile if login] → [.zshrc if interactive] → [.zlogin if login] → [.zlogout sometimes]



`zshenv` is the entrypoint and always sourced.



`zprofile` is meant as an alternative to .zlogin; the two are not intended to be

used together. Loads before zshrc instead of after and hands things off to

`zshrc`.
