⚙️ Command Architect

z-shell/zsh-cmd-architect

The Zsh Command Architect allows to copy segments of commands in history, rearrange segments of the current command, and delete segments of the current command. This way user glues commands from parts without using a mouse. Advanced history search (multi-word, without duplicate lines) allows to quickly find the parts.

Fixing tmux, screen and linux vt

If TERM=screen-256color (often a case for tmux and screen sessions) then ncv terminfo capability will have 2nd bit set. This in general means that underline won't work. To fix this by creating your own ncv=0-equipped terminfo file, run:

{ infocmp -x screen-256color; printf '\t%s\n' 'ncv@,'; } > /tmp/t && tic -x /tmp/t

A file will be created in directory ~/.terminfo and will be automatically used, tmux and screen will work. Similar is for Linux virtual terminal:

{ infocmp -x linux; printf '\t%s\n' 'ncv@,'; } > /tmp/t && tic -x /tmp/t

It will not display underline properly, but will instead highlight by a color, which is quite nice. The same will not work for FreeBSD's vt, ZCA will detect if that vt is used and will revert to highlighting elements via reverse mode.
