NAME
       grmlzshrc - Grml's zsh setup

SYNOPSIS
       zsh [options]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  Grml  project  provides  a	fairly	exhaustive  interactive	 setup
       (referred to as grmlzshrc throughout this  document)  for  the  amazing
       unix shell zsh (http://zsh.sourceforge.net). This is the reference man‐
       ual for that setup.

       To use grmlzshrc, you need at least version 3.1.7 of zsh (although  not
       all features are enabled in every version).

       grmlzshrc behaves differently depending on which user loads it. For the
       root user (EUID == 0) only a subset of features is loaded  by  default.
       This  behaviour	can  be	 altered  by  setting the GRML_ALWAYS_LOAD_ALL
       STARTUP VARIABLE (see below).

       Users may want to keep an up-to-date version  of	 the  setup  (possibly
       from  the  git-sources)	in ~/.zshrc. If that happens on a system where
       the global zshrc is also a grmlzshrc (but possibly an older  one),  you
       can inhibit loading the global version by doing:

       echo setopt no_global_rcs >> ~/.zshenv

       Note,  that  this  will disable ANY global files, except for the global
       zshenv file.

STARTUP VARIABLES
       Some of the behaviour of grmlzshrc can be altered  by  setting  certain
       shell  variables.  These	 may be set temporarily when starting zsh like
       this:

       % BATTERY=1 zsh

       Or by setting  them  permanently	 in  zshrc.pre	(See  AUXILIARY	 FILES
       below).

       BATTERY
	      If  set  to  a  value greater than zero and acpi installed, grm‐
	      lzshrc will put the battery status  into	the  right  hand  side
	      interactive prompt.

       COMMAND_NOT_FOUND
	      A	 non  zero  value  activates a handler, which is called when a
	      command  can  not	 be  found.  The   handler   is	  defined   by
	      GRML_ZSH_CNF_HANDLER (see below).

       GRML_ZSH_CNF_HANDLER
	      This   variable	contains  the  handler	to  be	used  by  COM‐
	      MAND_NOT_FOUND (see  above)  and	defaults  to  "/usr/share/com‐
	      mand-not-found/command-not-found".

       GRMLSMALL_SPECIFIC
	      Set  this	 to  zero  to remove items in zsh config, which do not
	      work in grml-small.

       HISTFILE
	      Where zsh saves the history. Default: ${HOME}/.zsh_history.

       HISTSIZE
	      Number of commands to be kept in the history. On a Grml-CD  this
	      defaults to 500, on a hard disk installation to 5000.

       MAILCHECK
	      Sets  the	 frequency  in	seconds for zsh to check for new mail.
	      Defaults to 30.  A value of zero turns off checking.

       NOCOR  Non zero values deactivate automatic correction of commands.

       NOMENU If set to zero (default), allows selection from a menu, if there
	      are at least five possible options of completion.

       NOPRECMD
	      A non zero value disables precmd and preexec commands. These are
	      functions	 that  are   run   before   every   command   (setting
	      xterm/screen titles etc.).

       REPORTTIME
	      Show  time  (user, system and cpu) used by external commands, if
	      they run longer than the defined number of seconds (default: 5).

       SAVEHIST
	      Number of commands to be stored in ${HISTFILE}. Defaults to 1000
	      on a Grml-CD and to 10000 on an installation on hard disk.

       watch  As  in tcsh(1) an array of login/logout events to be reported by
	      the shell builtin "log". For details see	zshparam(1).  Defaults
	      to (notme root).

       ZSH_NO_DEFAULT_LOCALE
	      Import "/etc/default/locale", if set to zero (default).

       ZSH_PROFILE_RC
	      A	 non  zero  value  causes  shell functions to be profiled. The
	      results can be obtained with the zprof builtin command (see zsh‐
	      modules(1) for details).

       COMPDUMPFILE
	      Specifies	 the  location	of  the completion dump file. Default:
	      $HOME/.zcompdump.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
       This is an in depth description of non-standard features implemented by
       grmlzshrc.

   DIRSTACK HANDLING
       The  dirstack in grmlzshrc has a persistent nature. It is stored into a
       file each time zsh's working directory is changed.  That	 file  can  be
       configured  via	the DIRSTACKFILE variable and it defaults to ~/.zdirs.
       The DIRSTACKSIZE variable defaults to 20 in this setup.

       The DIRSTACKFILE is loaded each	time  zsh  starts,  therefore  freshly
       started zshs inherit the dirstack of the zsh that most recently updated
       DIRSTACKFILE.

   DIRECTORY BASED PROFILES
       If you need to perform certain actions  each  time  you	enter  certain
       directory-trees, this is the feature you are looking for.

   Initialisation
       To  initialise  the  system,  you need to call the function `chpwd_pro‐
       files' at some point in your `zshrc.local'; preferably after  you  con‐
       figured	the  system. The configuration of the system is described fur‐
       ther below.

       If you need to do initialisations the first  time  `chpwd_profiles'  is
       called (which should be in your configuration file), you can do that in
       a function called "chpwd_profiles_init".	 That  function	 needs	to  be
       defined before `chpwd_profiles' is called for this to work.

       During  the  first call of `chpwd_profiles' (and therefore all its pro‐
       file functions) the parameter `$CHPWD_PROFILES_INIT' exists and is  set
       to `1'. In all other cases, the parameter does not exist at all.

   Styles and Profile-names
       To store its configuration, the system uses functions and styles (zsh's
       context sensitive configuration system), such as this:

       zstyle ':chpwd:profiles:/usr/src/grml(|/|/*)'   profile grml
       zstyle ':chpwd:profiles:/usr/src/debian(|/|/*)' profile debian

       When that's done and you enter a directory that matches the pattern  in
       the  third  part	 of the context, a function called chpwd_profile_grml,
       for example, is called (if it exists).

       If no pattern matches (read: no profile is detected) the profile is set
       to  'default',  which  means  chpwd_profile_default  is attempted to be
       called.

       A word about the context (the ':chpwd:profiles:*' stuff in  the	zstyle
       command)	 which	is  used:  The	third  part  in the context is matched
       against ${PWD}. That's why using	 a  pattern  such  as  /foo/bar(|/|/*)
       makes  sense.  Because  that  way the profile is detected for all these
       values of ${PWD}:

	 /foo/bar
	 /foo/bar/
	 /foo/bar/baz

       So, if you want to make double damn sure a profile  works  in  /foo/bar
       and everywhere deeper in that tree, just use (|/|/*) and be happy.

       The name of the detected profile will be available in a variable called
       'profile' in your functions. You don't need to do anything, it'll  just
       be there.

   Controlling Profile Execution
       During	its   initialisation  run,  the	 system	 creates  a  parameter
       $CHPWD_PROFILE, which is set to	the  profile  that  was	 is  currently
       active (the default value is "default"). That way you can avoid running
       code for a profile that is already active, by running code such as  the
       following at the start of your function:

       function chpwd_profile_grml() {
	   [[ ${profile} == ${CHPWD_PROFILE} ]] && return 1
	 ...
       }

       If  you	know  you are going to do that all the time for each and every
       directory-profile function you are ever going to write,	you  may  also
       set  the	 `re-execute'  style to `false' (which only defaults to `true'
       for backwards compatibility), like this:

	 zstyle ':chpwd:profiles:*' re-execute false

   Signaling availabily/profile changes
       If you use this feature and need to know whether it is active  in  your
       current	shell,	there are several ways to do that. Here are two simple
       ways:

       a) If knowing if the profiles feature is active when zsh starts is good
       enough for you, you can use the following snippet:

       ((   ${+functions[chpwd_profiles]}  ))  &&  print  "directory  profiles
       active"

       b) If that is not good enough, and you  would  prefer  to  be  notified
       whenever a profile changes, you can solve that by making sure you start
       every profile function you create like this:

       function chpwd_profile_myprofilename() {
	   [[ ${profile} == ${CHPWD_PROFILE} ]] && return 1
	   print "chpwd(): Switching to profile: $profile"
	 ...  }

       That makes sure you only get notified if	 a  profile  is	 changed,  not
       everytime  you  change  directory. (To avoid this, you may also set the
       newer `re-execute' style like described further above  instead  of  the
       test on top of the function.

   Leaving Profiles
       When  the  system  switches  from one profile to another, it executes a
       function named  "chpwd_leave_profile_<PREVIOUS-PROFILE-NAME>()"	before
       calling the profile-function for the new profile.

   Version requirement
       This feature requires zsh 4.3.3 or newer.

   ACCEPTLINE WRAPPER
       The  accept-line wiget is the one that is taking action when the return
       key is hit. grmlzshrc uses a wrapper around that widget, which adds new
       functionality.

       This  wrapper is configured via styles. That means, you issue commands,
       that look like:

       zstyle 'context' style value

       The context namespace, that we are using is 'acceptline'.  That	means,
       the  actual  context for your commands look like: ':acceptline:<subcon‐
       text>'.

       Where <subcontext> is one of: default, normal, force, misc or empty.

   Recognized Contexts
       default
	      This is the value, the context is initialized with.   The	 comp‐
	      warnfmt and //rehash styles are looked up in this context.

       normal If  the  first  word  in	the  command line is either a command,
	      alias, function, builtin or reserved word, you are in this  con‐
	      text.

       force  This  is the context, that is used if you hit enter again, after
	      being warned about  the  existence  of  a	 _completion  for  the
	      non-existing command you entered.

       empty  This  is the context, you are in if the command line is empty or
	      only consists of whitespace.

       misc   This context is in effect, if you entered	 something  that  does
	      not match any of the above. (e.g.: variable assignments).

   Available Styles
       nocompwarn
	      If  you  set  this style to true, the warning about non existent
	      commands, for  which  completions	 exist	will  not  be  issued.
	      (Default: false)

       compwarnfmt
	      The  message,  that  is  displayed to warn about the _completion
	      issue.   (default:  '%c  will  not  execute  and	completion  %f
	      exists.')	  '%c'	is  replaced  by the command name, '%f' by the
	      completion's name.

       rehash If this is set, we'll force rehashing, if appropriate. (Defaults
	      to true in grmlzshrc).

       actions
	      This can be a list of wigdets to call in a given context. If you
	      need a specific order for these to be called, name them  accord‐
	      ingly. The default value is an empty list.

       default_action
	      The  name	 of  a	widget,	 that is called after the widgets from
	      'actions'.  By default, this will be  '.accept-line'  (which  is
	      the built-in accept-line widget).

       call_default
	      If  true	in  the	 current  context,  call  the  widget  in  the
	      'default_action' style. (The default is true in all contexts.)

   PROMPT
       The grmlzshrc now supplies three prompt themes  compatible  with	 zsh's
       promptinit  system.  The	 three	themes are called grml, grml-large and
       grml-chroot.

       By default, grml is used, unless $GRMLPROMPT is set to a	 value	larger
       than zero, in which case grml-large is used. Lastly, if $GRML_CHROOT is
       non-empty, grml-chroot is used.

       As usual, with promtinit themes, the user may  switch  to  a  different
       theme using the prompt utility:

	   prompt grml-large

       That will use the grml-large prompt theme.

       The  themes  are	 highly customisable. The main source of documentation
       about customisation is the main grml theme's doc-string, that is avail‐
       able via the following command:

	   prompt -h grml

       The  other  themes  also come with doc-strings, but the main theme's is
       the canonical reference about all of them.

       This feature requires version 4.3.7 of the shell. Older	versions  will
       use the classic grml prompt as a fallback.

       A  note to people who like customisation: If you are not using a prompt
       theme for your customisation, but you're either statically setting $PS1
       (or  $PROMPT)  or  you're  constructing one of those variables in zsh's
       \`precmd()' function, make sure you are turning the zsh's prompt	 theme
       system  off before doing so. A correct example customisation could look
       like this:

	   # Turn the prompt system off:
	   prompt off
	   # Customise the prompt yourself:
	   PS1='%~ %# '

       You also add your own tokens  by	 using	the  \`grml_theme_add_token()'
       function.   Call the function without arguments for detailed documenta‐
       tion about that procedure.

   GNU/SCREEN STATUS SETTING
       grmlzshrc sets screen's hardstatus lines to the currently running  com‐
       mand  or	 'zsh'	if  the	 shell is idling at its prompt. If the current
       working directory is inside a repository unter version control,	screen
       status is set to: 'zsh: <repository name>' via zsh's vcs_info.

   PERSISTENT HISTORY
       If  you	got  commands  you consider important enough to be included in
       every shell's history, you can put them into ~/.important_commands  and
       they will be available via the usual history lookup widgets.

REFERENCE
   ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       grmlzshrc  sets	some environment variables, which influence the behav‐
       iour of applications.

       COLORTERM
	      Set to "yes". Some applications read this to learn about proper‐
	      ties of the terminal they are running in.

       EDITOR If  not  already	set,  sets  the	 default editor. Falls back to
	      vi(1), if vim(1) is not available.

       LESS_TERMCAP_*
	      Some environment variables that add colour  support  to  less(1)
	      for viewing man pages. See termcap(5) for details.

       MAIL   The mailbox file for the current user is set to /var/mail/$USER,
	      if not already set otherwise.

       PAGER  Set less(1) as default pager, if not already  set	 to  something
	      different.

       SHELL  Set  explicitly  to /bin/zsh, to prevent certain terminal emula‐
	      tors to default to /bin/sh or /bin/bash.

   OPTIONS
       Apart from zsh's default options,  grmlzshrc  sets  some	 options  that
       change the behaviour of zsh. Options that change Z-shell's default set‐
       tings are marked by <grml>. But note, that zsh's defaults vary  depend‐
       ing  on	its  emulation	mode  (csh, ksh, sh, or zsh). For details, see
       zshoptions(1).

       append_history
	      Zsh sessions, that use grmlzshrc, will append their history list
	      to the history file, rather than replace it. Thus, multiple par‐
	      allel zsh sessions will all have the new entries from their his‐
	      tory  lists  added  to  the history file, in the order that they
	      exit. The file will still be periodically re-written to trim  it
	      when the number of lines grows 20% beyond the value specified by
	      $SAVEHIST.

       auto_cd <grml>
	      If a command is issued that can't be executed as a  normal  com‐
	      mand, and the command is the name of a directory, perform the cd
	      command to that directory.

       auto_pushd <grml>
	      Make cd push the old directory onto the directory stack.

       completeinword <grml>
	      If the cursor is inside a word, completion  is  done  from  both
	      ends;  instead of moving the cursor to the end of the word first
	      and starting from there.

       extended_glob <grml>
	      Treat the '#', '~' and '^' characters as active globbing pattern
	      characters.

       extended_history <grml>
	      Save  each  command's  beginning timestamp (in seconds since the
	      epoch) and the duration (in seconds) to the history file.

       hash_list_all
	      Whenever a command completion is attempted, make sure the entire
	      command  path  is	 hashed first. This makes the first completion
	      slower.

       histignorealldups <grml>
	      If a new command line being added to the history list duplicates
	      an  older	 one, the older command is removed from the list, even
	      if it is not the previous event.

       histignorespace <grml>
	      Remove command lines from the history list when the first	 char‐
	      acter  on	 the  line  is	a  space,  or when one of the expanded
	      aliases contains a leading space. Note that the command  lingers
	      in the internal history until the next command is entered before
	      it vanishes.

       longlistjobs <grml>
	      List jobs in long format by default.

       nobeep <grml>
	      Avoid to beep on errors in zsh command line editing (zle).

       noglobdots
	      A wildcard character never matches a leading '.'.

       nohup <grml>
	      Do not send the hangup signal (HUP:1) to running jobs  when  the
	      shell exits.

       nonomatch <grml>
	      If  a  pattern  for  filename  generation has no matches, do not
	      print an error and leave it unchanged in the argument list. This
	      also applies to file expansion of an initial `~' or `='.

       notify Report  the  status  of background jobs immediately, rather than
	      waiting until just before printing a prompt.

       pushd_ignore_dups <grml>
	      Don't push multiple copies of the same directory onto the direc‐
	      tory stack.

       share_history <grml>
	      As  each line is added to the history file, it is checked to see
	      if anything else was written out by another shell, and if so  it
	      is  included  in	the  history  of  the current shell too. Using
	      !-style history, the commands from the other sessions  will  not
	      appear  in the history list unless you explicitly type the "his‐
	      tory" command. This option is activated for zsh versions	>=  4,
	      only.

   KEYBINDINGS
       Apart from zsh's default key bindings, grmlzshrc comes with its own set
       of key bindings. Note that bindings like ESC-e can  also	 be  typed  as
       ALT-e on PC keyboards.

       ESC-e  Edit the current command buffer in your favourite editor.

       ESC-v  Deletes a word left of the cursor; seeing '/' as additional word
	      separator.

       CTRL-x-1
	      Jump right after the first word.

       CTRL-x-M()
	      Create directory under cursor or the selected area.   To	select
	      an area press ctrl-@ and use the cursor.	Use case: you type "mv
	      abc ~/testa/testb/testc/" and remember that the  directory  does
	      not exist yet -> press CTRL-xM and problem solved.

       CTRL-x-p
	      Searches	the  last occurence of string before the cursor in the
	      command history.

       CTRL-x-z
	      Display help on keybindings and zsh line editor. Press  consecu‐
	      tively to page through content.

       CTRL-z Brings  a	 job,  which  got  suspended with CTRL-z back to fore‐
	      ground.

   Customisation
       To customise keybindings, you can just use zsh's bindkey utility.  How‐
       ever,  if  you  plan to to use the `zle-line-init' or `zle-line-finish'
       hooks yourself, make sure you  call  the	 following  functions  in  the
       respective hook:

	      ·	 zle-line-init: zle-smkx

	      ·	 zle-line-finish: zle-rmkx

       This  is required so the keybindings set up by grmlzshrc work. The rea‐
       son for this is to turn the terminal into the right  mode  while	 zsh's
       line  editor  (zle) is running. This enables us to query terminfo about
       escape sequences for special keys and thus simplify and generalise  our
       keybinding section.

   SHELL FUNCTIONS
       grmlzshrc  comes	 with  a wide array of defined shell functions to ease
       the user's life.

       855resolution()
	      If 915resolution is available, issues a warning to the  user  to
	      run  it  instead	to  modify  the	 resolution  on intel graphics
	      chipsets.

       accessed()
	      Lists files in  current  directory,  which  have	been  accessed
	      within  the  last	 N days. N is an integer to be passed as first
	      and only argument.  If no argument is specified N is set to 1.

       allulimit()
	      Sets all ulimit values to "unlimited".

       any()  Lists processes matching given pattern.

       asc()  Login on the host provided as argument using autossh. Then reat‐
	      tach  a  GNU  screen  session if a detached session is around or
	      detach a currently attached screen or else start a  new  screen.

   ALIASES
       grmlzshrc  comes	 with  a  wide array of predefined aliases to ease the
       user's life. A few aliases (like those involving grep or	 ls)  use  the
       option  --color=auto for colourizing output. That option is part of GNU
       implementations of these tools, and will only be used if such an imple‐
       mentation is detected.

       acp (apt-cache policy)
	      With no arguments prints out the priorities of each source. If a
	      package name is given, it displays  detailed  information	 about
	      the priority selection of the package.

       acs (apt-cache search)
	      Searches	debian	package	 lists for the regular expression pro‐
	      vided as	argument.   The	 search	 includes  package  names  and
	      descriptions.  Prints out name and short description of matching
	      packages.

       acsh (apt-cache show)
	      Shows the package records for the	 packages  provided  as	 argu‐
	      ments.

       adg (apt-get dist-upgrade)
	      Performs	an  upgrade  of	 all installed packages. Also tries to
	      automatically handle changing dependencies with new versions  of
	      packages.	 As  this  may	change	the install status of (or even
	      remove) installed packages, it is potentially dangerous  to  use
	      dist-upgrade; invoked by sudo, if necessary.

       ag (apt-get upgrade)
	      Downloads	 and installs the newest versions of all packages cur‐
	      rently installed on the system. Under no circumstances are  cur‐
	      rently  installed	 packages  removed,  or	 packages  not already
	      installed retrieved and installed.  New  versions	 of  currently
	      installed	 packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the
	      install status of another package will be left at their  current
	      version.	An  update must be performed first (see au below); run
	      by sudo, if necessary.

       agi (apt-get install)
	      Downloads and installs or upgrades the  packages	given  on  the
	      command  line.  If a hyphen is appended to the package name, the
	      identified package will be removed if it is installed. Similarly
	      a	 plus sign can be used to designate a package to install. This
	      may be useful to override decisions made by  apt-get's  conflict
	      resolution  system.   A  specific	 version  of  a package can be
	      selected for installation by following the package name with  an
	      equals and the version of the package to select. This will cause
	      that version to be located and selected  for  install.  Alterna‐
	      tively  a specific distribution can be selected by following the
	      package name with a slash and the version of the distribution or
	      the  Archive  name (stable, testing, unstable).  Gets invoked by
	      sudo, if user id is not 0.

       ati (aptitude install)
	      Aptitude is a terminal-based package manager with a command line
	      mode  similar  to	 apt-get  (see agi above); invoked by sudo, if
	      necessary.

       au (apt-get update)
	      Resynchronizes the package index files from their	 sources.  The
	      indexes  of  available packages are fetched from the location(s)
	      specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. An update should  always  be
	      performed	 before	 an  upgrade  or dist-upgrade; run by sudo, if
	      necessary.

       da (du -sch)
	      Prints the summarized disk usage of the arguments as well	 as  a
	      grand total in human readable format.

       dbp (dpkg-buildpackage)
	      Builds  binary or source packages from sources (See: dpkg-build‐
	      package(1)).

       debs-by-size (grep-status -FStatus -sInstalled-Size,Package -n "install
       ok installed" | paste -sd "  \n" | sort -rn)
	      Prints installed Packages sorted by size (descending).

       dir (ls -lSrah)
	      Lists  files (including dot files) sorted by size (biggest last)
	      in long and human readable output format.

       ge (grep-excuses)
	      Searches the testing excuses files  for  a  specific  maintainer
	      (See: grep-excuses(1)).

       grep (grep --color=auto)
	      Shows grep output in nice colors, if available.

       File=/dev/null")
	      scp with possible man-in-the-middle attack enabled. This is con‐

	      on virtualized test- or development-systems.  To	be  used  only
	      inside trusted networks, of course.

AUXILIARY FILES
       This is a set of files, that - if they exist - can be used to customize
       the behaviour of grmlzshrc.

       .zshrc.pre
	      Sourced  at the very beginning of grmlzshrc. Among other things,
	      it can be used to permantenly change grmlzshrc's	STARTUP	 VARI‐
	      ABLES (see above):

	      # show battery status in RPROMPT
	      BATTERY=1
	      # always load the complete setup, even for root
	      GRML_ALWAYS_LOAD_ALL=1

       .zshrc.local
	      Sourced  right  before loading grmlzshrc is finished. There is a
	      global version of	 this  file  (/etc/zsh/zshrc.local)  which  is
	      sourced before the user-specific one.

       .zdirs Directory listing for persistent dirstack (see above).

       .important_commands
	      List of commands, used by persistent history (see above).

INSTALLATION ON NON-DEBIAN SYSTEMS
       On   Debian  systems  (http://www.debian.org)  -	 and  possibly	Ubuntu
       (http://www.ubuntu.com) and similar systems - it is very	 easy  to  get
       grmlzshrc via grml's .deb repositories.

       On non-debian systems, that is not an option, but all is not lost:

       % wget -O .zshrc http://git.grml.org/f/grml-etc-core/etc/zsh/zshrc

       If  you	would  also like to get seperate function files (which you can
       put into your $fpath), you can browse and download them at:

       http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-etc-core.git;a=tree;f=usr_share_grml/zsh;hb=HEAD

ZSH REFCARD TAGS
       If you read grmlzshrc's code you may notice strange looking comments in
       it. These are there for a purpose. grml's zsh-refcard is	 automatically
       generated  from the contents of the actual configuration file. However,
       we need a little extra information on which comments and what lines  of
       code to take into account (and for what purpose).

       Here is what they mean:

       List of tags (comment types) used:

       #a#    Next  line  contains an important alias, that should be included
	      in the grml-zsh-refcard. (placement tag: @@INSERT-aliases@@)

       #f#    Next line contains  the  beginning  of  an  important  function.
	      (placement tag: @@INSERT-functions@@)

       #v#    Next  line  contains  an	important  variable.  (placement  tag:
	      @@INSERT-variables@@)

       #k#    Next line contains  an  important	 keybinding.  (placement  tag:
	      @@INSERT-keybindings@@)

       #d#    Hashed  directories list generation: start: denotes the start of
	      a list of 'hash -d' definitions. end: denotes its	 end.  (place‐
	      ment tag: @@INSERT-hasheddirs@@)

       #A#    Abbreviation  expansion  list  generation:  start:  denotes  the
	      beginning of abbreviations. end: denotes their end.

	      Lines within this section that end in '#d .*' provide extra doc‐
	      umentation  to  be  included  in	the  refcard.  (placement tag:
	      @@INSERT-abbrev@@)

       #m#    This tag allows you to manually  generate	 refcard  entries  for
	      code lines that are hard/impossible to parse.  Example:

	      #m# k ESC-h Call the run-help function

	      That  would  add	a  refcard  entry in the keybindings table for
	      'ESC-h' with the given comment.

	      So the syntax is: #m# <section> <argument> <comment>

       #o#    This tag lets you insert entries to the 'other' hash. Generally,
	      this  should  not be used. It is there for things that cannot be
	      done easily in another way.  (placement tag: @@INSERT-other-foo‐
	      bar@@)

       All  of	these  tags (except for m and o) take two arguments, the first
       within the tag, the other after the tag:

       #<tag><section># <comment>

       Where <section> is really just a	 number,  which	 are  defined  by  the
       @secmap array on top of 'genrefcard.pl'. The reason for numbers instead
       of names is, that for the reader, the tag should not differ much from a
       regular	comment.  For zsh, it is a regular comment indeed. The numbers
       have got the following meanings:

       0      default

       1      system

       2      user

       3      debian

       4      search

       5      shortcuts

       6      services

       So, the following will add an entry to the  'functions'	table  in  the
       'system' section, with a (hopefully) descriptive comment:

       #f1# Edit an alias via zle
       edalias() {

       It  will	 then show up in the @@INSERT-aliases-system@@ replacement tag
       that can be found in 'grml-zsh-refcard.tex.in'. If the  section	number
       is   omitted,   the  'default'  section	is  assumed.  Furthermore,  in
       'grml-zsh-refcard.tex.in' @@INSERT-aliases@@ is	exactly	 the  same  as
       @@INSERT-aliases-default@@.  If	you  want  a  list of all aliases, for
       example, use @@INSERT-aliases-all@@.

CONTRIBUTING
       If  you	want  to  help	to  improve  grml's  zsh  setup,   clone   the
       grml-etc-core repository from git.grml.org:

       % git clone git://git.grml.org/grml-etc-core.git

       Make  your  changes,  commit  them;  use 'git format-patch' to create a
       series of patches and send those to  the	 following  address  via  'git
       send-email':

       grml-etc-core@grml.org

       Doing  so  makes	 sure the right people get your patches for review and
       possibly inclusion.

STATUS
       This manual page is the reference manual for grmlzshrc.

       That means that in contrast to the existing refcard it should  document
       every aspect of the setup.

       This  manual  is	 currently not complete. If you want to help improving
       it, visit the following pages:

       http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=zshrcmanual
