What felt like an initial thirty second throwaway comment yesterday has turned in to a pile of replies that feel like a poorly conceived Ted talk now, forgive me for that. The dividing line between variables that should be prefixed by expor

For the first; Unless your bash config overrides the environment variable you've set it will use $HISTFILE from the calling shell, which is why "HISTFILE=<location>" without the export fixes it. You can test it with:

FWIW, that is also the default behaviour of zsh's standard completion subsystem for kill. You can try it yourself: "zsh -f" to get a shell without reading a fancy config, start compinit, "kill <Tab>". You can

Noting that you didn't solicit advice, but… * Exporting shell variables such as HISTFILE isn't necessary, and can be unsafe. For example, if you decide to pop open unconfigured bash from within a zsh session it would intermingle

As we're in a zsh story, I'll point out it comes with a clever file renaming interface out of the box¹. It allows full access to all the advanced glob operators zsh provides too². ¹ https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc&

Like practically everything zsh, it can be configured. The select-word-style zle widget¹ ships with zsh, and has a bash compatible setting(among others). The interface is super powerful, and given that you can change it in individual zle

Well, you don't have to use the two pane mode if you don't want anyway. You can switch to single pane mode, use the second pane for file info, use the second pane as a directory tree in the manner of a "regular" single

zsh has a comprehensive hook system available for these types of tasks¹(zshaddhistory in this case). It gives you more options to control how/when the history is preserved, and allows you to be more selective in when it should be writ

Depends on the archive type and how the vfs/extfs code was implemented for it¹. It also depends on how the archive is treated if it is compressed container, which can be seen by looking at how a .tar and .tar.xz are handled for examp

mc sets $MC_SID in the subshell, so you can query that in your prompt to mark prompts running under mc. Another option might be to bind F10 to start mc, so that it acts as a toggle whether in mc or in a non-mc shell. You'd need to w

My description above wasn't great. I meant completion would be an improvement in the sense that under zsh `~-<Tab>` can show not only the possible completion options, but also the value they expand to. For example, mine is set

by JNRowe 3y ago
Personally, I'd find the completion output from `~-<Tab>` a worthy improvement, although admittedly with zsh you can configure completion to display both name and value for `$c<Tab>` too I guess(can't recall if that is

by JNRowe 3y ago
A slightly different take is available if you're a zsh user, as you can take advantage of named directories to replace the aliases. If you do this the directories you've added will show up in regular completions and be available

pushd also gives you simple access via `~- n ` in both bash and zsh out of the box. The bonus being that `~-[ n ]` is correctly handled when used as an argument to other commands too, so that `cp myfile ~-4/` does what you'd expe

The vote result that led to this public statement received a lot of commentary yesterday¹, and the linked LWN article has a lot of interesting thoughts on the subject too. ¹ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38787005
