I've tried zsh a few times and liked many of the changes, but to make it default (I'm not against that), we'd have to make defaults that are very much like bash: keyboard controls for things (e.g. deleting from cursor to beginning/end of line), searching the history, etc. A nice MOTD when logging in pointing to a "zsh crash course for bash users" would be ideal. If these types of things can't be done, I don't think we should change the default. And we should definitely keep bash installed by default, given that a lot of scripts look for it. -- http://aconkling.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
