Terminal

Dark terminal, 20% transparency, plain zsh.

The terminal setup should feel familiar within minutes, not after a theme digression. The shell stays on zsh, the look stays dark with about 20% transparency, and the plugin list stays short.

Legacy shell extras stay out. autojump and zsh-syntax-highlighting are intentionally not part of this rebuild.

Shell Baseline

The goal is a clean, portable shell profile that does not need constant babysitting.

Minimal plugin list

Only keep what is still worth it.

plugins=(git)

What not to reintroduce

  • No autojump.
  • No zsh-syntax-highlighting.
  • No pnpm in the shell bootstrap path.

Terminal Look

Keep it visually familiar enough that the machine feels like yours immediately.

Transparency Reference

Use a dark profile with about 20% transparency.

Natural Text Editing

If the terminal supports it, keep familiar key bindings for word-wise editing.
