Ghost in the Shell – ZSH Setup

Today I would like to share with you my simple yet useful zsh(1) shell config that I use daily.

You may want to check other articles in the Ghost in the Shell series on the Ghost in the Shell – Global Page where you will find links to all episodes of the series along with table of contents for each episode’s contents.

I have been various UNIX and Linux systems since almost two decades. Through that time I was always looking for the best interactive shell out there. Obviously I have started with the bash(1) on Linux and it generally worked but bash(1) also did not impressed me at all. Just a shell. I have similar experiences with the ksh(1) shell.

The bash(1) shell gets little better when you install the bash-completion companion but its very limited still.
