This article inspired me to give zsh a spin. The pre configured setup of oh-my-zsh is a nice starting point.

But am really missing the Bash "help" command, and the combined (easily searchable) man page.

Thus far I have not been able to figure out which feature or config option to disable to stop this annoyance:

$ grep vim

zsh: correct 'vim' to '.vim' [nyae]?

Please don't "help me", i typed exactly what I wanted.




Care to post your .zshrc?

Edit: I have setopt correctcall and I do not get this behaviour.

On an unrelated not, this is a classic example of complaining about why a product doesn't work and having users jump at the chance to fix your issue to prove it's worth.

But how to monitize this... :)


lol, guilty.... where do I send my micro-payment ;o)


Woah. Micro? I'm playing the big numbers game with small amounts of customers ;)


unsetopt correct_all

in your .zshrc

also run-help , I believe is the zsh equivalent to the Bash help builtin.


Not sure what is lost with "unsetopt correct_all", but it fixes this annoyance.

"run-help" doesn't seem to do the trick. As an example, in Bash, "help for" will describe the for loop construct. "run-help" seems to just be an alias for "man" and on my system calls up the Tcl for man page.

Thanks for the article and your response here.
