Introduction
Crasis – semigraphical interface to ZI
Zsh exposes its parser via (z) substitution flag.
Parsing .zshrc is totally possible.
This way Crasis lets you edit your ZI commands located in .zshrc.
All in pure Zshell code.
No more commenting-out a line with a text editor to disable plugin, cluttering .zshrc, now you can just press a button.
Crasis uses pure-Zshell ZUI library to create ncurses interface.
Installation & Basic Use
Install ZI and add following commands to .zshrc:
zi light z-shell/zui
zi light z-shell/zi-crasis
To use, invoke crasis [optional zshrc path] or press Ctrl-o-k.
Global variables CRASIS_THEME and CRASIS_LAYOUT can be used to override configuration file crasis.conf (located in plugin's
tree), i.e.:
CRASIS_THEME="zdharma-256" CRASIS_LAYOUT="contract" crasis
256-color themes require Zsh 5.3 or later.
