zsh, KDE4

Posted by George Wright Thu, 22 Nov 2007 21:17:00 GMT

As I’ve heard so many great things about zsh I decided to give it a spin and I must say that I’m quite impressed on the whole. I especially like the less intrusive way it displays possible tab completion values, as well as the vi keybindings that come with it (although I’ve had to bind a few keys which I keep hitting out of habit, such as end/home and delete). The configuration system it brings up on first load is really spiffy as well, and I like the fact that there’s an option to append command history to the log file instead of replacing it - extremely useful given that I tend to have ~10 terminals open at any one time.

I also finally got round to building a more up to date copy of KDE 4 and I’m really impressed with the progress they’re making; it really is astounding how quickly it’s all coming together. I’m currently in the process of installing an SVN build on my X40 so that I can run it full time on there - I think it’s finally hit the stage where I can run it full time.

    Bash can do that history that way too: shopt -s histappend.

    Speaking of zsh, does anyone know how to make it respect my time zone? It seems to always use New York time (I’m in France).

    BTW, I’m using Ubuntu Gutsy
