# Zsh Navigation Tools
|

|
||
|
||
Set of tools like n-history – multi-word history searcher, n-cd – directory
|
||
bookmark manager, n-kill – htop like kill utility, and more. Based on
|
||
n-list, a tool generating selectable curses-based list of elements that has
|
||
access to current Zsh session, i.e. has broad capabilities to work together
|
||
with it. Feature highlights include incremental multi-word searching, ANSI
|
||
coloring, unique mode, horizontal scroll, non-selectable elements, grepping and
|
||
various integrations with Zsh.
|
||
|
||
## History Widget
|
||
|
||
To have n-history as multi-word incremental searcher bound to Ctrl-R copy znt-*
|
||
files into the */site-functions dir (unless you use Oh My Zsh) and
|
||
add:
|
||
|
||
autoload znt-history-widget
|
||
zle -N znt-history-widget
|
||
bindkey "^R" znt-history-widget
|
||
|
||
to .zshrc. This is done automatically when using Oh My Zsh. Two other
|
||
widgets exist, znt-cd-widget and znt-kill-widget, they can be too assigned
|
||
to key combinations (no need for autoload when using Oh My Zsh):
|
||
|
||
zle -N znt-cd-widget
|
||
bindkey "^T" znt-cd-widget
|
||
zle -N znt-kill-widget
|
||
bindkey "^Y" znt-kill-widget
|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh stores history into ~/.zsh_history. When you switch to OMZ you could
|
||
want to copy your previous data (from e.g. ~/.zhistory) into the new location.
|
||
|
||
## Introduction
|
||
|
||
The tools are:
|
||
|
||
- n-aliases - browses aliases, relegates editing to vared
|
||
- n-cd - browses dirstack and bookmarked directories, allows to enter selected directory
|
||
- n-functions - browses functions, relegates editing to zed or vared
|
||
- n-history - browses history, allows to edit and run commands from it
|
||
- n-kill - browses processes list, allows to send signal to selected process
|
||
- n-env - browses environment, relegates editing to vared
|
||
- n-options - browses options, allows to toggle their state
|
||
- n-panelize - loads output of given command into the list for browsing
|
||
|
||
All tools support horizontal scroll with <,>, {,}, h,l or left and right
|
||
cursors. Other keys are:
|
||
|
||
- [,] - jump directory bookmarks in n-cd and typical signals in n-kill
|
||
- Ctrl-d, Ctrl-u - half page up or down
|
||
- Ctrl-p, Ctrl-n - previous and next (also done with vim's j,k)
|
||
- Ctrl-l - redraw of whole display
|
||
- g, G - beginning and end of the list
|
||
- Ctrl-o, o - enter uniq mode (no duplicate lines)
|
||
- / - start incremental search
|
||
- Enter - finish incremental search, retaining filter
|
||
- Esc - exit incremental search, clearing filter
|
||
- Ctrl-w (in incremental search) - delete whole word
|
||
- Ctrl-k (in incremental search) - delete whole line
|
||
|
||
## Programming
|
||
|
||
The function n-list is used as follows:
|
||
|
||
n-list {element1} [element2] ... [elementN]
|
||
|
||
This is all that is needed to be done to have the features like ANSI coloring,
|
||
incremental multi-word search, unique mode, horizontal scroll, non-selectable
|
||
elements (grepping is done outside n-list, see the tools for how it can be
|
||
done). To set up non-selectable entries add their indices into array
|
||
NLIST_NONSELECTABLE_ELEMENTS:
|
||
|
||
typeset -a NLIST_NONSELECTABLE_ELEMENTS
|
||
NLIST_NONSELECTABLE_ELEMENTS=( 1 )
|
||
|
||
Result is stored as $reply[REPLY] ($ isn't needed before REPLY because
|
||
of arithmetic context inside []). The returned array might be different from
|
||
input arguments as n-list can process them via incremental search or uniq
|
||
mode. $REPLY is the index in that possibly processed array. If $REPLY
|
||
equals -1 it means that no selection have been made (user quitted via q
|
||
key).
|
||
|
||
To set up entries that can be jumped to with [,] keys add their indices to
|
||
NLIST_HOP_INDEXES array:
|
||
|
||
typeset -a NLIST_HOP_INDEXES
|
||
NLIST_HOP_INDEXES=( 1 10 )
|
||
|
||
n-list can automatically colorize entries according to a Zsh pattern.
|
||
Following example will colorize all numbers with blue:
|
||
|
||
local NLIST_COLORING_PATTERN="[0-9]##"
|
||
local NLIST_COLORING_COLOR=$'\x1b[00;34m'
|
||
local NLIST_COLORING_END_COLOR=$'\x1b[0m'
|
||
local NLIST_COLORING_MATCH_MULTIPLE=1
|
||
n-list "This is a number 123" "This line too has a number: 456"
|
||
|
||
Blue is the default color, it doesn't have to be set. See zshexpn man page
|
||
for more information on Zsh patterns. Briefly, comparing to regular
|
||
expressions, (#s) is ^, (#e) is $, # is *, ## is +. Alternative
|
||
will work when in parenthesis, i.e. (a|b). BTW by using this method you can
|
||
colorize output of the tools, via their config files (check out e.g. n-cd.conf,
|
||
it uses this).
|
||
|
||
## Performance
|
||
ZNT are fastest with Zsh before 5.0.8 and starting from 5.2
