vscode-material-icon-theme VS zsh

I write my code in Visual Studio Code with bunch of extensions (OneDark-Pro, Auto Rename Tag, Bracket Pair Colorizer, indent-rainbow, File Utils, to name a few), I use One Dark Pro Color Theme and Material Icon Theme.

I have been a long time user of VSCode's Material Icon Theme extension (https://github.com/PKief/vscode-material-icon-theme) and got used to quickly identifying the files and folders in my projects by their icons.

I use kitty, with a Nord theme, transparency, and Zsh with Oh My Zsh, using the clean theme.

The shell is the interface we interact with when we open a terminal session. The default shell for most Linux distributions and macOS was the good old bash for decades, but some competitors have gained prominence in recent years. The most relevant is zsh, now the default for macOS and many Linux distros. I used zsh for a while, but discovered fish in a tweet by Carlos Becker, tried it, and didn't come back back. fish is lighter and faster than zsh (empirical fact, it's my impression as I haven't done or read benchmarks) and comes with lots of features built-in utilities like faster auto-complete, wildcards for browsing directories, between many other.

You can enabled text objects for zsh's vi mode by adding two small snippets to your zshrc (the commented out snippets at the top) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/master/Functions/Zle/select-quoted https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/master/Functions/Zle/select-bracketed

Check out vcs_info for the method provided in Zsh. For a faster method using gitstatusd, and for more prompt features, check out powerlevel10k.

Shell tools, including, zsh, fish, etc

POSIX shell (sh) such as GNU Bash (bash) or Zsh (zsh): these scripts in this guide were tested using either of these shells on macOS and Ubuntu Linux.
