ZSH package for VoiceCode

ZSH Support for VoiceCode

This adds VoiceCode support for zsh, namely selection support and undo bindings.

Pull requests are welcome. 😄

Prerequisites

You must be using iTerm2 and ZSH.

Installation

Clone this repo into the Voicecode home directory

By default, this is ~/voicecode, so:

git clone https://github.com/anonfunc/voicecode-zsh.git ~/voicecode/zsh

Make required changes:

• Add source ~/voicecode/zsh/selection.zsh to your ~/.zshrc
• Optional: Change cursor style from block to vertical line. This makes selection behavior less confusing.

Try some commands.

• Selection commands: trail, crew, scram, spando

You should not need to restart VoiceCode, but if it doesn't work... restart VoiceCode.

Limitations

• ZSH must be using Emacs style key bindings, the default.
• VoiceCode uses the clipboard to get selected text, so clipboard commands will interact with zsh's selection, not your terminal emulator.
  • This means that CMD-C will have different behavior than stoosh, and that mouse selections will not be usable with VoiceCode.
  • It also means that once something is printed on the screen, you cannot use trail to select it.
• Selection color is currently blue, and not configurable.
• If you are also using the vim VoiceCode package, I'm not sure what will happen, but various things will break.
