hi @therajat08 it's for alternate your processes in background.
Try this:

open vim, then ctrl+z (back to terminal), then ctrl+z (back to vim)

Both the bindkey -s '^o' 'lfcd\n' and bindkey '^e' edit-command-line keybinds don't work for me. I saw someone above that had a similar issue and I've tried my best to look up how to do this on my own. I've made sure there are no conflicting keybinds but I've also set a myriad of different keybinds besides ^o and ^e just in case but to no avail. Let me know if anyone else has had this issue and how you fixed it or if you know the fix.

Ctrl+z did take me to terminal from vim, but pressing ctrl+z from terminal did not take me back to vim, I ran ‘fg’ for that.

starship.rs might be a candidate to replace a bit of this... Thoughts?

It turns out that, unless told to do otherwise, vim will just use whatever cursor shaped your terminal/shell is currently using. And when you type vim and hit <return> (even if you hit <esc> to enter vi-mode and then hit <return>) you are in main or viins mode/keymap in your shell and the zle-keymap-select function has used echo -ne '\e[5 q' to set your cursor to "blinking vertical bar". You can overcome this by doing:

echo -ne "\e[1 q"; vim

Or in vim you can do:

:!echo -ne "\e[1 q";

That is not convenient, but if it's possible, then it has to be scriptable! Sure enough, armed with that info, I was able to find this…

Taken from https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Change_cursor_shape_in_different_modes#For_Terminal_on_macOS adding this to my ~/.vim/vimrc gave me the same behavior in vim as in zsh.

"Mode Settings

let &t_SI.="\e[5 q" "SI = INSERT mode
let &t_SR.="\e[4 q" "SR = REPLACE mode
let &t_EI.="\e[1 q" "EI = NORMAL mode (ELSE)

"Cursor settings:

"  1 -> blinking block
"  2 -> solid block 
"  3 -> blinking underscore
"  4 -> solid underscore
"  5 -> blinking vertical bar
"  6 -> solid vertical bar

Also, it seems that Luke is not updating this gist and the voidrice version is being maintained instead. To compare you can vimdiff 2 process substitutions curling the raw URLs of each like so:

vimdiff <(curl -sL "https://gist.github.com/LukeSmithxyz/e62f26e55ea8b0ed41a65912fbebbe52/raw/zshrc") \
        <(curl -sL "https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/voidrice/raw/master/.config/zsh/.zshrc")

NOTE

A process substitution is shell syntactic sugar that creates temporary FIFOs (ie /dev/fd/11) for a process. These can be used where a file is expected. Learn it. Love it.

I ended up going with fish + starship.rs

Thanks @RichardBronosky , for anyone else attempting to install this on MacOS, the last line where you install the syntax highlighting did not work for me out of the box. You will need to also install the syntax highlighting plugin from https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting and then correctly reference your install location in the last line of the .zshrc file.

Also, the autosuggestions were the killer feature of Fish for me, here is good alternative for zsh: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/master/INSTALL.md It works well but it doesn't seem to query the global history as Fish does.

You inspired me to do a rangercd:

rangercd () {
    tmp="$(mktemp)"
    ranger --choosedir="$tmp" "$@"
    if [ -f "$tmp" ]; then
        dir="$(cat "$tmp")"
        rm -f "$tmp"
        [ --datadir "$dir" ] && [ "$dir" != "$(pwd)" ] && cd "$dir"                                               
    fi
}

so you just have to switch
last-dir-path with --choosedir and -d with --datadir

another plugin you could very appreciate is zsh-autosuggestions or fzf (fuzzy finder for ZSH)

also: does lf have an imagepreview?

I am a bit late to reply lol but lf actually does have image preview check out lfimg. It works flawless and I prefer it over ranger.

@RichardBronosky (and @Arjentix and @zaid-g if you're still following),

Taken from https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Change_cursor_shape_in_different_modes#For_Terminal_on_macOS adding this to my ~/.vim/vimrc gave me the same behavior in vim as in zsh.

None of these worked for me, but what finally got the cursor to reset was:

:silent !echo -ne "\e[2 q"

Did you come up with the name "zoomer" shell? That is hilarious
