I Built a Neovim-Style Motion Plugin for Zsh
Editing long commands in Zsh can feel slow and frustrating, especially if you are used to the speed of Neovim motions.
In this video, I show you a plugin I created for Zsh inspired by the hopchar workflow in Neovim. If you already use bindkey -v for Vim mode in Zsh, this plugin adds a fast way to jump directly to characters inside long commands.
Just press Control + J, type a character, and instantly jump to any occurrence in the current command line.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
Install the plugin with git clone
Configure it in your .zshrc
Navigate long commands faster in Zsh
Use Neovim-style character jumping in your shell
If you spend a lot of time in the terminal, this can make editing commands much faster and more comfortable.
