Just switched and it's been working great!

Really like all of zsh's functions.

Last part is tricky. When previous program exit with error there's red ':(' in prompt. Otherwise there's green ':)'.


How can I change that to make the % or # turn green or red, instead of the smiling face?

Remove the % or # from the end, and insert it in place of the smilies.

1. Use the following to automatically rehash. Then you don't need to alias emerge.

This will not work if you do not use autocompletion for the new command (i.e. if you "just" type it). Moreover, if the autocompletion finds another (existing) command it will also not rehash and thus not show the new alternative. I guess these are most of the cases when you installed something new. Moreover, IMHO it is a bit too overdone to rehash that often. If you have really such a fast machine that you do not really care about rehashing time, you can also rehash in the precmd hook (i.e. every time before the prompt is displayed).
I never thought that rehashing took a lot of time. I never noticed any lag on my core2duo laptop which usually runs at 800MHz.

But maybe you are right, simply putting rehash in precmd would be more efficient I believe. Only thing is that it would work on the terminal I am working on, and then it won't work (until I press enter) on some other terminal that remained open while the new program was being installed.

for now i still use bash for root and zsh only for my normal user...
so if I emerge (root of course) and then i type "exit" i have to rehash?
So the other shells?
What happens exactly if i don't?

Yes, but this is not related with the question of whether the shells are different. You would have the same issue if both are zsh or both are bash.

If you installed a new command, the running shell will not find this new command in the path.

Yes, if mplayer was never installed before (more precisely, if there was no mplayer executable in $PATH before you emerged mplayer): If you type just "mplayer ..." (and not "/usr/bin/mplayer ...") the shell just looks up where "mplayer" was in PATH at the last rehash (typically at startup) - if there was no such binary before, it will not find that command.

this is really a very annoying issue....

and i still have problems under kde with "home" and "end" buttons of my keyboard under kde. With:
Code:
typeset -A key

key[Home]=${terminfo[khome]}
key[End]=${terminfo[kend]}
bindkey "${key[Home]}"      beginning-of-line
bindkey "${key[End]}"       end-of-line

outside X they work, but under kde still not!

found a nice way to solve it:
just typing cat and then pushing the button, it shows exactly the code of the button
on my system:
Code:
krog@krogpc ~ % cat     
^[[H^C

for home, and
Code:
krog@krogpc ~ % cat
^[[F

for end
so adding:
Code:
key[Home]=${terminfo[khome]}
key[End]=${terminfo[kend]}
bindkey "${key[Home]}"      beginning-of-line
bindkey "${key[End]}"       end-of-line
bindkey    "^[[3~"          delete-char
bindkey    "^[3;5~"         delete-char

bindkey "\e[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[F" end-of-line


makes home and end buttons working on konsole AND tty

Anyone know if there's a way to make the history persistent, as in bash (across reboots, etc)?

Here is what I use. I don't think it is all needed and you probably don't want all of it. For example, the extended_history option adds a timestamp to each line which you may not want. I think the first three lines will do what you want.
Code:
export HISTSIZE=100000
export HISTFILE="${HOME}/.zhistory/zhistory"
export SAVEHIST=$HISTSIZE
setopt hist_ignore_all_dups
setopt hist_ignore_space
setopt extended_history
setopt APPEND_HISTORY
setopt SHARE_HISTORY
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY
setopt HIST_REDUCE_BLANKS

Currently my ~/.zshistory directory contains 355 files which hold 15K lines of history.

I'm a big fan of zsh, and it will probably be the only base shell (i.e. /bin/sh and /bin/ksh replacement) in my modernized pure-copyFREE redistribution of OpenBSD.

I can understand GNU/Linux being married to bash, but Apple and Haiku OS really goofed when they chose bash over zsh - GNU is not UNIX, and UNIX is not GNU. Korn is missing some very useful features, and (t)csh has syntax issues, so I think all non-GNU projects should use zsh by default.

I'd also like to see more software packages provide zsh auto-completion support, which is particularly convenient for package management commands, any commands where you specify modes (ex. ffmpeg), etc.

Have you seen fish? It also appears to be very good.

Um, I've just troll-ranted about copyFREE license issues. Fish is licensed as very market-unfriendly GPL. :roll:

Plus fish is just simply a bad idea right off the bat: yet another shell that breaks POSIX/etc traditions, but isn't as flexible as ipython and other scripting language shells. I believe in a dichotomy between tradition and objective innovation, and for the latter what we really need is JavaScript (aka TheScript) everywhere, including the UNIX command shell.

Very nice. I used a good chunk of your code to make my prompt:

Code:
# NQS's prompt, based off of
# http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3690849.html?sid=753a61864e669836fc5121f9800360e3#3690849
# and
# http://dotfiles.org/~mental/.zshrc (gave me the idea)
# Also http://www.understudy.net/custom.html#table1 for varibles


PS1=$'%{\e[1;34m%}%~ on terminal %l, %BCommand #%!%b\
%B[%b%n@%m%{\e[0m%}%B]%b %(?,%{\e[0;32m%} OK ,%{\e[0;31m%} FAIL )%# %{\e[0m%}'

RPS1=$'%{\e[1;34m%}20%D-%*%{\e[0m%}'


Screenshot

.zshrc

NQS

Got a lot of cool ideas from this thread.

Here's a prompt I made earlier. It's nice, but a bit fiddley if you need your .zshrc to perform other functions.
Edit: Definitely don't use it.
Code:

HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
HISTSIZE=30000
SAVEHIST=30000
bindkey -e

zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/liam/.zshrc'

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit

alias l="ls -F --color=auto"
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias la="ls -A --color=auto"

autoload -U colors && colors

# This causes this file to be re-sourced after each command.
periodic() { source ~/.zshrc; }
PERIOD=1

# When this file is re-sourced, the following variables are reassigned.
i=$[${RANDOM}%5]
j=$[${RANDOM}%5]
k=$[${RANDOM}%5]
l=$[${RANDOM}%5]

# Now follow the prompt colour choices based on the random numbers.
if [ $i -eq 0 ]; then
  colour1="red"
elif [ $i -eq 1 ]; then
  colour1="cyan"
elif [ $i -eq 2 ]; then
  colour1="green"
elif [ $i -eq 3 ]; then
  colour1="magenta"
elif [ $i -eq 4 ]; then
  colour1="yellow"
elif [ $i -eq 5 ]; then
  colour1="white"
fi

if [ $j -eq 0 ]; then
  colour2="red"
elif [ $j -eq 1 ]; then
  colour2="cyan"
elif [ $j -eq 2 ]; then
  colour2="green"
elif [ $j -eq 3 ]; then
  colour2="magenta"
elif [ $j -eq 4 ]; then
  colour2="yellow"
elif [ $j -eq 5 ]; then
  colour2="white"
fi

if [ $k -eq 0 ]; then
  colour3="red"
elif [ $k -eq 1 ]; then
  colour3="cyan"
elif [ $k -eq 2 ]; then
  colour3="green"
elif [ $k -eq 3 ]; then
  colour3="magenta"
elif [ $k -eq 4 ]; then
  colour3="yellow"
elif [ $k -eq 5 ]; then
  colour3="white"
fi

if [ $l -eq 0 ]; then
  colour4="red"
elif [ $l -eq 1 ]; then
  colour4="cyan"
elif [ $l -eq 2 ]; then
  colour4="green"
elif [ $l -eq 3 ]; then
  colour4="magenta"
elif [ $l -eq 4 ]; then
  colour4="yellow"
elif [ $l -eq 5 ]; then
  colour4="white"
fi

# Now we roll the fortune dice!
p=$[${RANDOM}%100]
if [ $p -eq 0 ]; then
  echo " "
  fortune
fi

PROMPT="
%{$fg[$colour1]%}%B%n%b%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[$colour3]%}%B>%b%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[$colour4]%}%B%M%b%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[$colour3]%}%B:%b%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[$colour2]%}%B%~%b%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[$colour1]%}%B|%b%{$reset_color%}
%{$fg[$colour3]%}%B$%b%{$reset_color%} "


Basically, the prompt is
user > host.domain: directory |
$
and its colours change randomly each use.

LiamOS ...

for me colour functions as as visual clue and I think I'd find your prompt more of an annoyance than an aid, but each to their own. Plus, for general use I wouldn't want to source my .zshrc on each command, and I question the wisdom of doing this simply for the purpose of aesthetics.

My prompt provides a visual (colour) clue of two factors: the UID the shell is running under, and the location (local/remote).

Code:
# PROMPTS (local and ssh/remote)

# Colours (256 on a compatable terminal) are set via a numerical
# value '{n}' and not ANSI escape sequence ... see: .zsh/scripts/spectrum.zsh

if [[ -z ${SSH_CLIENT} && ${UID} -gt "0" ]] ; then
    PS1=$'[%F{2}%n%f@%F{2}%m%f: %F{4}%3~%f]%# '
    RPS1=$'%F{1} %f[%F{1}%B%h%b%F{1}%f]'
elif [[ -z ${SSH_CLIENT} && ${UID} -eq "0" ]] ; then
    PS1=$'[%F{1}%n%f@%F{1}%m%f: %F{4}%3~%f]%# '
    RPS1=$'%F{1} %f[%F{1}%B%h%b%F{1}%f]'
elif [[ -n ${SSH_CLIENT} && ${UID} -gt "0" ]] ; then
    PS1=$'[%F{2}%n%f@%F{6}%m%f: %F{4}%3~%f]%# '
    RPS1=$'%F{1} %f[%F{1}%B%h%b%F{1}%f]'
elif [[ -n ${SSH_CLIENT} && ${UID} -eq "0" ]] ; then
    PS1=$'[%F{1}%n%f@%F{6}%m%f: %F{4}%3~%f]%# '
    RPS1=$'%F{1} %f[%F{1}%B%h%b%F{1}%f]'
else
    PS1='%n@%m %B%3~%b %# '
fi

The spectum.zsh is from P.C. Shyamshankar (here).

The prompt is fairly simple (by zsh standards) with just user, host, path, and history (RPS1 ... on the right side) ... and the additional visual clues.

best ... khay

Actually, it is even worse since it is sourced each second and not each command - which makes no sense concerning prompt colors. I would use PS1=$(....${RANDOM}...) if I would want different colors for every prompt.

IMHO this is exactly how a good prompt should be. Perhaps it is too simple if you use xterm/screen/tmux since then you might want to set some soft/hard status lines. Also, perhaps, you might want to cut paths if they become so long that they almost fill a line.
If you want to add both, you might want to use the set_prompt script (available from the mv overlay).
Note: A feature of the script is that you can also use it for bash if you have to... :wink:

mv ... I use a precmd/preexec function for status, and this is only for tmux as my terminals don't have titlebars (tiled WM).

'%3~' will do exactly this (truncate to three directories).

I'm not sure I looked at this, but I will ... thanks for putting together app-shells/zsh-run-help btw ...
