There are already a zillion zsh hint and tip things floating around, but they are long and sort of... terse.

So here's some stuff I find particularly useful.

PREDENDUM: This is amazing. People are already reading this and responding, elsewhere, and creatively interpreting events to fit whether they already like or hate FA. Argh I wrote it in the first place to avoid that ( Read more... )
