If using a custom glyph in the font, you can use fontforge to find out what its unicode character is. I’ve created a self installing script, which can be found here: There’s also a bunch of other useful things in that repository. There’s also a vim powerline, which is included in the bash script, but can also be installed separately along with everything else I use if needed. If you liked the powerlines but didn’t like the idea of installing zsh, I have a small bash script that installs the powerline for bash terminals.

I also host a version of the ttf which includes my distro icon, Zorin OS, on my gitlab. I went the extra mile and created an svg glyph containing my distro’s icon, and used FontForge to add the glyph to the font ttf file. In order for them to work you need to use a patched nerdfont. The informational, cool prompts I user are from p10k. Searching Google for ‘Blue gradient wallpaper hd’ (or whatever other color) should be good enough for finding one you like.

You can use whatever emulator you like, but xfce was the only one that I found that worked well and had support for a background image.Īgain, you can use any background image, or not use an image at all, but I went for a dark gradient image. In terms of looks, I am using xfce terminal, installable with apt. Lastly, both bash and zsh source the same. There are many more plugins, so take your time looking over things and seeing what you can find.Īnother couple of things I found necessary were a bug fix, where pasting text into the terminal was very slow: # Fix slowness of pastes with zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh pasteinit() zstyle :bracketed-paste-magic paste-init pasteinit zstyle :bracketed-paste-magic paste-finish pastefinish # End fix slowness of pastes The plugins configuration I use is, unsurprisingly, stored in the all-important ~/.zshrc : plugins=( git zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions ) This is what I use to manage everything else. Maybe at some point, I will make a script that does this, but honestly, most people will probably want to tweak the look and feel a little.įirst off, we have a plugin manager called Oh My Zsh.
FONTFORGE MOVE BACKGROUND INSTALL
So, here’s a list of the ones I use, with links to their install pages. All the functionality I mentioned are different plugins.
FONTFORGE MOVE BACKGROUND PLUS
If you are unfamiliar, this is kind of like bash on steroids- it does the same things bash does, and is compatible with bash syntax, for the most part, so you can still keep using all your hard-earned bash oneliners that you know and love, plus it does so much more! What makes zsh special is its ability to use plugins.

The engine allowing all the fancy stuff is the Z shell, zsh. I find all this very useful and a good boost in productivity when working in the Terminal. I click the right arrow key to accept the autocompletion.
