ZSH CheatSheet

This is a cheat sheet for how to perform various actions to ZSH, which can be tricky to find on the web as the syntax is not intuitive and it is generally not very well-documented.

Strings

Description Syntax
Get the length of a string ${#VARNAME}
Get a single character ${VARNAME[index]}

Using GNU command line tools in macOS instead of FreeBSD tools

macOS is a Unix, and not built on Linux.

I think most of us realize that macOS isn't a Linux OS, but what that also means is that instead of shipping with the GNU flavor of command line tools, it ships with the FreeBSD flavor. As such, writing shell scripts which can work across both platforms can sometimes be challenging.

Homebrew

Homebrew can be used to install the GNU versions of tools onto your Mac, but they are all prefixed with "g" by default.

All commands have been installed with the prefix "g". If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc.

An iTerm2 Cheatsheet

In the below keyboard shortcuts, I use the capital letters for reading clarity but this does not imply shift, if shift is needed, I will say shift. So ⌘ + D does not mean hold shift. ⌘ + Shift + D does of course.

Tabs and Windows

Function Shortcut
New Tab ⌘ + T
Close Tab or Window ⌘ + W (same as many mac apps)
Go to Tab ⌘ + Number Key (ie: ⌘2 is 2nd tab)
Go to Split Pane by Direction ⌘ + Option + Arrow Key
