  • Make the zsh Prompt Go Faster
    7 projects | dev.to | 29 Dec 2024
    zsh can compile zsh scripts using the builtin zcompile into wordcode. This will have the effect of having faster parsing. The way we use this to get a faster prompt is to explicitly ask zsh to compile certain chunky plugins(think your syntax highlighters and completion plugins) into wordcode.

This script (which must be loaded before the zsh-history-substring-search above) will provide syntax highlighting of commands as you write them.
