= DESCRIPTION =
-The grml project provides a fairly exhaustive interactive setup (referred to
+The Grml project provides a fairly exhaustive interactive setup (referred to
as //grmlzshrc// throughout this document) for the amazing unix shell zsh
(http://zsh.sourceforge.net). This is the reference manual for that
setup.
//grmlzshrc// behaves differently depending on which user loads it. For the
root user (**EUID** == 0) only a subset of features is loaded by default. This
behaviour can be altered by setting the **GRML_ALWAYS_LOAD_ALL** STARTUP
-VARIABLE (see below). Also the umask(1) for the root user is set to 022,
-while for regular users it is set to 002. So read/write permissions
-for the regular user and her group are set for new files (keep that
-in mind on systems, where regular users share a common group).
+VARIABLE (see below).
+
+Users may want to keep an up-to-date version of the setup (possibly from the
+git-sources) in //~/.zshrc//. If that happens on a system where the global
+zshrc is also a //grmlzshrc// (but possibly an older one), you can inhibit
+loading the global version by doing:
+\
+```
+echo setopt no_global_rcs >> ~/.zshenv
+```
+
+Note, that this will disable //ANY// global files, except for the global
+zshenv file.
= STARTUP VARIABLES =
Some of the behaviour of //grmlzshrc// can be altered by setting certain shell
If set to a value greater than zero and //acpi// installed, //grmlzshrc// will
put the battery status into the right hand side interactive prompt.
+: **COMMAND_NOT_FOUND**
+A non zero value activates a handler, which is called when a command can not
+be found. The handler is defined by GRML_ZSH_CNF_HANDLER (see below).
+
+: **GRML_ALWAYS_LOAD_ALL**
+Enables the whole Grml setup for root, if set to a non zero value.
+
+: **GRML_ZSH_CNF_HANDLER**
+This variable contains the handler to be used by COMMAND_NOT_FOUND (see above)
+and defaults to "/usr/share/command-not-found/command-not-found".
+
+: **GRMLSMALL_SPECIFIC**
+Set this to zero to remove items in zsh config, which do not work in
+grml-small.
+
+: **HISTFILE**
+Where zsh saves the history. Default: ${HOME}/.zsh_history.
+
+: **HISTSIZE**
+Number of commands to be kept in the history. On a Grml-CD this defaults to
+500, on a hard disk installation to 5000.
+
+: **MAILCHECK**
+Sets the frequency in seconds for zsh to check for new mail. Defaults to 30.
+A value of zero turns off checking.
+
+: **NOCOR**
+Non zero values deactivate automatic correction of commands.
+
+: **NOMENU**
+If set to zero (default), allows selection from a menu, if there are at least
+five possible options of completion.
+
+: **NOPRECMD**
+A non zero value disables precmd and preexec commands. These are functions
+that are run before every command (setting xterm/screen titles etc.).
+
+: **REPORTTIME**
+Show time (user, system and cpu) used by external commands, if they run longer
+than the defined number of seconds (default: 5).
+
+: **SAVEHIST**
+Number of commands to be stored in ${HISTFILE}. Defaults to 1000 on a Grml-CD
+and to 10000 on an installation on hard disk.
+
+: **watch**
+As in tcsh(1) an array of login/logout events to be reported by the shell
+builtin "log". For details see zshparam(1). Defaults to (notme root).
+
+: **ZSH_NO_DEFAULT_LOCALE**
+Import "/etc/default/locale", if set to zero (default).
+
+: **ZSH_PROFILE_RC**
+A non zero value causes shell functions to be profiled. The results can be
+obtained with the zprof builtin command (see zshmodules(1) for details).
+
= FEATURE DESCRIPTION =
This is an in depth description of non-standard features implemented by
= REFERENCE =
+== ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ==
+//grmlzshrc// sets some environment variables, which influence the
+behaviour of applications.
+
+: **COLORTERM**
+Set to "yes". Some applications read this to learn about properties
+of the terminal they are running in.
+
+: **EDITOR**
+If not already set, sets the default editor. Falls back to vi(1),
+if vim(1) is not available.
+
+: **LESS_TERMCAP_***
+Some environment variables that add colour support to less(1) for viewing
+man pages. See termcap(5) for details.
+
+: **MAIL**
+The mailbox file for the current user is set to /var/mail/$USER, if not
+already set otherwise.
+
+: **PAGER**
+Set less(1) as default pager, if not already set to something different.
+
+: **QTDIR**
+Holds the path to shared files for the C++ application framework QT
+(version 3 or 4).
+
+: **SHELL**
+Set explicitly to /bin/zsh, to prevent certain terminal emulators to
+default to /bin/sh or /bin/bash.
+
+
+== OPTIONS ==
+Apart from zsh's default options, //grmlzshrc// sets some options
+that change the behaviour of zsh. Options that change Z-shell's default
+settings are marked by <grml>. But note, that zsh's defaults vary depending
+on its emulation mode (csh, ksh, sh, or zsh). For details, see zshoptions(1).
+
+: **append_history**
+Zsh sessions, that use //grmlzshrc//, will append their history list to the
+history file, rather than replace it. Thus, multiple parallel zsh sessions
+will all have the new entries from their history lists added to the history
+file, in the order that they exit. The file will still be periodically
+re-written to trim it when the number of lines grows 20% beyond the value
+specified by $SAVEHIST.
+
+: **auto_cd** <grml>
+If a command is issued that can't be executed as a normal command, and the
+command is the name of a directory, perform the cd command to that directory.
+
+: **auto_pushd** <grml>
+Make cd push the old directory onto the directory stack.
+
+: **completeinword** <grml>
+If the cursor is inside a word, completion is done from both ends;
+instead of moving the cursor to the end of the word first and starting
+from there.
+
+: **extended_glob** <grml>
+Treat the '#', '~' and '^' characters as active globbing pattern characters.
+
+: **extended_history** <grml>
+Save each command's beginning timestamp (in seconds since the epoch) and the
+duration (in seconds) to the history file.
+
+: **hash_list_all**
+Whenever a command completion is attempted, make sure the entire command
+path is hashed first. This makes the first completion slower.
+
+: **histignorealldups** <grml>
+If a new command line being added to the history list duplicates an
+older one, the older command is removed from the list, even if it is
+not the previous event.
+
+: **histignorespace** <grml>
+Remove command lines from the history list when the first character on
+the line is a space, or when one of the expanded aliases contains a
+leading space. Note that the command lingers in the internal history
+until the next command is entered before it vanishes.
+
+: **longlistjobs** <grml>
+List jobs in long format by default.
+
+: **nobeep** <grml>
+Avoid to beep on errors in zsh command line editing (zle).
+
+: **noglobdots**
+A wildcard character never matches a leading '.'.
+
+: **nohup** <grml>
+Do not send the hangup signal (HUP:1) to running jobs when the shell exits.
+
+: **nonomatch** <grml>
+If a pattern for filename generation has no matches, do not print an error
+and leave it unchanged in the argument list. This also applies to file
+expansion of an initial `~' or `='.
+
+: **notify**
+Report the status of background jobs immediately, rather than waiting until
+just before printing a prompt.
+
+: **pushd_ignore_dups** <grml>
+Don't push multiple copies of the same directory onto the directory stack.
+
+: **share_history** <grml>
+As each line is added to the history file, it is checked to see if anything
+else was written out by another shell, and if so it is included in the
+history of the current shell too. Using !-style history, the commands from
+the other sessions will not appear in the history list unless you explicitly
+type the "history" command. This option is activated for zsh versions >= 4,
+only.
+
+
== KEYBINDINGS ==
Apart from zsh's default key bindings, //grmlzshrc// comes with its own set of
key bindings. Note that bindings like **ESC-e** can also be typed as **ALT-e**
: **CTRL-x-1**
Jump right after the first word.
+: **CTRL-x-M()**
+Create directory under cursor or the selected area.
+To select an area press ctrl-@ and use the cursor.

+
: **CTRL-x-p**
Searches the last occurence of string before the cursor in the command history.
+: **CTRL-x-z**
