FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book.

# This script prints a bell character when a command finishes
# if it has been running for longer than $zbell_duration seconds.
# If there are programs that you know run long that you don't
# want to bell after, then add them to $zbell_ignore.

# This script uses only zsh builtins so its fast, there's no needless
# forking, and its only dependency is zsh and its standard modules
