    Zim: Modular, customizable, and blazing fast Zsh framework

  • switch from bash to zsh - terminal is the application that you see when you work in command line, shell is the program/language/commands that you are writing and that are responding. Bash is standard standard everywhere, but zsh is better in features while being mostly the same. The big feature that is very important is smart history. I dont fucking remember command, i remember part of a command. And what happens in zsh is that if I write just small part of a command and start pressing arrow up, it will go through history and show only lines that contain that small part. It is extremely useful. bash has that with ctrl+r or something but it feels clunky and shitty and cant go easily back if go one over... plus zsh has lot of other good shit. Now, the thing is that zsh is complicated so there are frameworks that make it much easier to have nicely setup zsh shell. I use zim with steeef theme, and other interesting is zsh4humans. Follow their instructions if you wanna try it and remember you need to have zsh package installed. But zsh just made work in terminal so much easier.
