dotfiles.cli VS zsh-vi-mode

I use about 12 plugins, most of which I've written myself.

bindkey -v is a builtin starting place, but there's a lot of extra bindings you can add to make it more like Vim. Personally, I've written a few plugins which make up the difference I want, and a few more personal bindings besides.

Here's my script. It forks off a playerctl --follow with a custom format to work around read skipping empty items (like a song without an artist). You don't have to do that, I just prefer that so I can add nwg-wrapper to view album art and song title on my desktop without spinning up another playerctl read loop.

Any config I write, I add to my dotfiles repo. Then I can clone it down whenever I'm setting up a new machine/reinstall

I wrote this script to run an arbitrary command when the provided app's window appears.

I'm curious; are you writing something like this?

Custom Powerlevel10k

Watch out for < and > too. Playerctl's command-line has specifiers for {{markup_escape(title)}}, I use it my playerctl segment. Here's how it looks with the custom CSS.

My full config is here, if you want to take a look at anything else, including the plugins I use.

There's also d and D which map to this function.

And zsh-vi-mode

Thank you for your answer, I'm using zsh and zsh-vi-mode, and, at least in my experience, it works GREAT!

Here's a random endorsement: have you tried this improved vi-mode plugin for zsh? The built-in mode is good, but the plugin adds some of the commands that I missed. https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode

My following recommendation does not address your original question, but you might be interested into it. Since a year or so I use a plugin for ZSH which enhances the vim like capabilities on the commandline: https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode And additionally in normal mode vv will open up vim for editing this commandline and a :wq would go back with the updated line. Not using myself, but cool to have.

Vi mode was not enough for me, so I installed a ZSH plugin with extended Vim features: https://github.com/jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode

Yeah, I can't imagine working without it. There's also a more feature-packed vi-mode (since the zsh vi-mode lacks some basic bindings).
