- Packages offload the user from providing long and complex commands.
- Annexes allow to extend the plugin manager with new commands.
- Turbo mode yields 50–80% faster Zsh startup.
☑️ Neat and flexible
- Customize paths, use multiple prompts or create your own plugins.
- Supports Oh My Zsh and Prezto plugins and libraries. ( migration).
- Does not use
$FPATH
, loading multiple plugins doesn't clutter$FPATH
with the same number of entries, e.g: 10, 15,
or more. - Code is immune to
KSH_ARRAYS
and other options typically causing compatibility problems. - Do not require
sudo
, and provide many workarounds e.g: setting so-called shims locally.
📈 Familiarize and control
- Quickly familiarize oneself with a new plugin and provides rich and easy-to-digest information that might be helpful
on various occasions. - Load or unload plugins, use the ability to manage completions.
- Docker playground, test or propose configurations, preview at
