ZSH Configuration

A lightweight, plugin-based Zsh setup without oh-my-zsh. Plugins bootstrap automatically on first launch. Part of my dotfiles.

Features

• Auto-suggestions — Inline suggestions from history and completions
• Syntax highlighting — Real-time command validation
• Vi mode — jk to escape insert mode
• Git status — Branch and dirty-state in prompt via gitstatus
• Yazi integration — y wrapper changes directory on quit

Prompt

Two-line prompt with an active vi-mode indicator (insert vs. command). Built with zle-line-init and zle-keymap-select redraw hooks. Uses the 256-color palette for consistent theming across terminals.

Requirements

• Zsh 5.0+
• Git (for plugin bootstrapping)
• Optional: Yazi for the file-manager wrapper

File layout

File	Purpose
.zshrc	Entry point: plugins, history, key bindings, utilities
prompt.zsh	Prompt builder and zle redraw widgets

Installation

git clone https://github.com/tonigineer/zsh.git ~/.config/zsh
ln -s ~/.config/zsh/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

Start a new shell. The four plugins clone and load on first run.
