minus-squareshyamalamadingdong [he/him]hexbear2·edit-24 years agoThings I use ZSH over bash for: running an ls whenever I cd into a directory chpwd() ls -Ah --color=auto fish-style autocomplete using zsh-autocompletions. Nothing else. I didn't want to use bloated frameworks like oh-my-zsh and don't really have any use for eyecandy. My prompt looks like PROMPT="${NEWLINE}%F{blue}%d${NEWLINE} $ %F{white}" and I find that's clean enough. link
