Ask HN: Best Shell Setup with Modernity

by tanin on 7/9/23, 2:40 AM with 0 comments

I've been using my own shell setup with some useful shortcuts like:

- press arrow-up and use the prefix to search history - enable vim mode for editing

But in general it's brittle. For example, if I press arrow-up and edit the current command, sometimes there seems to be some characters being shifted and the command would make no sense.

I would love to be able to edit command using vim-mode in a more robust. Sometimes I want to edit by using a mouse to point the cursor to the place I want to edit. I'd also love to know other useful capabilities that I am not aware of.

If folks can share what you are using and what you like about it, that would be great.
