[SOLVED] Dollar sign in zsh

Mr. Alex · 01-24-2011, 04:08 AM

I was searching in Google but couldn't find an answer. I got used to "$" in bash as a regular user, but in zsh it's "%". Is there any possibility to change % to $ in zsh for regular user?

You might have a look here. Maybe it's bindkey you're looking for.

Key Bindings

Zsh doesn't use readline, instead it uses its own and more powerful zle. It doesn't read /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc. zle has an emacs mode and a vi mode. By default, it tries to guess whether you want emacs or vi keys from the $EDITOR environment variable. If it's empty, it will default to emacs. You can change this with bindkey -v or bindkey -e.

To get some special keys working:
File: ~/.zshrc

bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line # Home
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line # End
bindkey "\e[5~" beginning-of-history # PageUp
etc. etc. etc.

ciao,

I was talking about a symbol in prompt, not hot keys...
