Advantages over plain zoxide init fish | source:
- Faster shell startup by AOT initialization
- Managed as a plugin, can be installed or disabled via plugin managers
zoxide.fish is configured via fish variables instead of zoxide flags.
- Use a different prefix:
set --universal zoxide_cmd j(same aszoxide init --cmd j) - Disable predefined aliases:
set --universal zoxide_cmd(same aszoxide init --no-aliases)
| zoxide | zoxide.fish |
|---|---|
zoxide init --hook none |
set --universal zoxide_hook |
zoxide init --hook prompt |
set --universal zoxide_hook --on-event fish_prompt |
zoxide init --hook pwd |
set --universal zoxide_hook --on-variable PWD (default) |
Thanks to the flexibility of zoxide.fish, you can define custom hooks that is not available via zoxide init (e.g. set --universal zoxide_hook --on-event fish_postexec).
zoxide.fish also respects a few environment variables that are used by zoxide:
$_ZO_ECHO: When set to1(set --universal _ZO_ECHO 1), zoxide.fish prints the matched directory before navigating to it.$_ZO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS: When set to1(set --universal _ZO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS 1), zoxide.fish will resolve symlinks before adding directories to the database.
