Description

Points from http://www.slideshare.net/jaguardesignstudio/why-zsh-is-cooler-than-your-shell-16194692:

  • Syntax highlighting: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
    • http://blog.patshead.com/2012/01/using-and-customizing-zsh-syntax-highlighting-with-oh-my-zsh.html
    • http://linuxtips.manki.in/2011/10/zsh-syntax-highlighting.html
  • Practice using path expansion (eg. cd p/u/w<tab>)
  • Practice using path replacement (eg. cd foo bar; impressively, works with "foo" and "bar" at higher levels of the path, so not more cd ../../../[etc])
  • Global aliases (eg. alias -g gp'| grep -i')
  • Suffix aliases (eg. alias -s rb=vim)
  • Extended globbing (eg. ls -l **/*.rb)
  • Environment variable editing (eg. vared PATH)
