To hide command leading spaces in zsh, you can modify your .zshrc file to use the PRECMD_FUNCTIONS array and define a custom function to strip leading spaces from the command before it is displayed. Here's an example:
- Open your
.zshrcfile in a text editor:
nano ~/.zshrc
- Add the following lines to the file:
# Define a function to strip leading spaces from the command
function precmd() {
if [[ ${PRECMD_FUNCTIONS[*]} != *strip_leading_spaces* ]]; then
# Add the function to the list of precmd functions
PRECMD_FUNCTIONS+=("strip_leading_spaces")
fi
}
# Function to strip leading spaces from the command
function strip_leading_spaces() {
# Replace leading spaces with a single space
LBUFFER+=$(echo "$LBUFFER" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//')
}
-
Save and close the file.
-
Reload the
.zshrcfile to apply the changes:
source ~/.zshrc
Now, when you open a new terminal session, command leading spaces should be hidden.
