Up Arrow Auto Complete From History

This allows you to start typing something and then hit the up or down arrow to auto complete from your history off of what you already have typed rather than wiping out what you have and cycling your history.

Put the following lines in your ~/.inputrc:

## arrow up
"\e[A":history-search-backward
## arrow down
"\e[B":history-search-forward

Use ZSH

https://blog.joaograssi.com/windows-subsystem-for-linux-with-oh-my-zsh-conemu/

sudo apt-get install zsh

Oh My ZSH!

sudo apt-get install git
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Configuration

Make sure it installed properly. You should find this in your ~/.bashrc if it was installed correctly. If you do not see this add it.

if test -t 1; then
exec zsh
fi

Themes

Edit ~/.zshrc

# Find and change this
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

# To this
ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

Fonts

Install the powerline fonts for the agnoster theme.

Note: You will need to do this on Windows if you're running WSL.

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git

You may need to use Menlo for a monospaced font.

git clone https://github.com/abertsch/Menlo-for-Powerline.git

Another option: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts

NOTE: you may need to restart VSCode for the font to take hold. You may also have to set the Terminal > Integrated: Font Family to Menlo for Powerline for VSCode

To reload for the current terminal: source ~/.bashrc

Quick Projects Folder Access

Fuzzy Search History

First you'll need to install fzf:

Then add this to your .bashrc

writecmd (){ perl -e 'ioctl STDOUT, 0x5412, $_ for split //, do{ chomp($_ = <>); $_ }' ; }

fh() {
  ([ -n "$ZSH_NAME" ] && fc -l 1 || history) | fzf +s --tac | sed -re 's/^\s*[0-9]+\s*//' | writecmd
}

After installing you may see something like:

==> fzf
To install useful keybindings and fuzzy completion:
  /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/fzf/install

Also consider running the installer mentioned above from the brew install. This can enable:

  • (CTRL-T, CTRL-R, ALT-C) to fuzzy search the current directory.
  • Fuzzy searching completion ie: cd /someDir/wh**
cd /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/fzf
./install
