Assuming zsh is already doing everything you want the biggest thing you're missing is speed.

Assuming zsh is already doing everything you want the biggest thing you're missing is speed.
- kbd 6y ago"Speed" seems a vague claim. What are you referring to? Startup time, interactive use, scripting?
- edoceo 6y agoWTF are you doing where shell "speed" is the bottleneck? How does it happen that your shell starts "slow". This post has lots of speed comments. I don't get it. Are bash pipes slower than others? Do folk have a shell that takes longer than 250ms to start?
- anoki 6y agoI tried out many of the popular shells (bash, zsh, fish, etc) many years ago when my daily driver was an older thinkpad, and some of the startup times were painfully slow for me. It definitely drove me toward the more minimal shells like ksh and rc. On newer hardware it hasn't been noticeable, but it's real.
- hjek 6y agoNot OP but fish's fuzzy autocomplete is snappy, especially on low-end hardware even when I mistype a lot, where zsh will often just freeze completely, for me at least.
