Way back while studying I used tcsh as my main shell and it had this nifty feature of being able to correct a misspelled command name by pressing Escape-$ which would change e.g. bsah to bash Now I needed it (apparently kustomize is not keyboard friendly) but could not recall ever having seen this in bash. Can bash do this and if so how?

I'd like to change this behavior: ❯ les file.txt zsh: correct 'les' to 'ls' [nyae]? To this: ❯ les file.txt zsh: correct 'les' to 'less' [nyae]? What's the simplest way to do this? I'm looking to retain the autocorrection but revise it a bit, so alias les=less is not the kind of solution I seek.

On some Linux installations, there is a 'feature' in which bash automatically suggests similar commands or apt packages when you type a command which is not found on the path. I find it very annoying, as this takes several seconds and blocks the terminal. Where is this configured (bash, Ubuntu)? Where can I change/disable this? I just want the errormessage of an unknown command and nothing more. Cannot find anything inside ~/.bashrc . This is the output (takes 10 seconds) on my corporate machine, shortened: > eco 'hello world' Command 'eco' not found, did you mean: command 'ecj' from deb ecj (3.16.0-1) command 'ecc' from deb ecere-dev (0.44.15-1build3) [...] command 'co' from deb rcs (5.9.4-6) command 'ico' from deb x11-apps (7.7+8) command 'peco' from deb peco (0.5.1-1) command 'ecm' from deb gmp-ecm (7.0.4+ds-5) Try: apt install >

I have noticed the utility of this feature while typing on Android devices (notably with Gboard virtual keyboard) The same is available on iOS, in iPhones and iPads. I don't mean the use of a virtual keyboard on Linux, but the presence of a "suggestion strip" on the screen, as it is called in Gboard, while typing in Linux, no matter the virtual or physical character of the keyboard. Is this possible to have that with any text editor or at least some of them? Windows 10 already has that it seems .

How do I tell zsh to correct simple spelling mistakes automatically? For example: I want lsbkl to automatically be corrected to lsblk, after hitting Enter, without showing zsh: correct 'lsbkl' to 'lsblk' [nyae]?. Is this possible to achieve?

I have enabled correction (I wouldn't call it *autocorrection* specifically because of this issue) in zsh by enabling setopt correct in my .zshrc. Now, when I type dtae in a terminal, I get: dtae zsh: correct 'dtae' to 'date' [nyae]? y Tue Mar 31 11:39:31 CEST 2015 At this point I would like zsh to remember my decision. So the next time I type dtae it should automatically correct to date . However, this does not happen, and zsh is again asking me what to do: dtae zsh: correct 'dtae' to 'date' [nyae]? Unless, of course, if at that time there exists an actual dtae command or alias. **Update:** I have managed to modify the zsh source code (file utils.c, function spckword) to create a custom file containing the aliases automatically created with the invocation of zsh's "correct" functionality: original: if (x == 'y' || x == ' ' || x == '\t') { *s = dupstring(best); if (hist) hwrep(best); } modified: if (x == 'y' || x == ' ' || x == '\t') { char *aliaspath = getenv("HOME"); strcat(aliaspath, "/.zsh_correct_aliases"); FILE *out = fopen(aliaspath, "ab+"); fprintf(out, "alias %s=\'", *s); *s = dupstring(best); fprintf(out, "%s\'\n", *s); fclose(out); if (hist) hwrep(best); } Upon executing dtae, the following line is added to the file ~/.zsh_correct_aliases: alias dtae='date' However, I don't know how to source the newly modified ~/.zsh_correct_aliases file in-place.

I love the autocorrection feature of ZSH, but sometimes it gets in the way: - If I have a cli directory, it will be suggested when I try to run npm run ci. - When running the Docker command docker run -v /some/dir:/var/www it will try to autocorrect to /some/dir/var/www - ... and many more Now I **don't** want to turn off autocorrection or prefix the command with nocorrect. What I would like is more of a "learning" autocorrection that wraps around the normal suggestions, counts how many times I said "no" to a suggestion and does not suggest it any more if I've said "no" for 3 times. I something like this possible?

On Mac OS X 10.9 and zsh version 5.0.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0) the ssh user@192.168.13.2 command traps a correct to ssh User@192.168.12.2 [nyae]. I don't want to disable zsh correction on the ssh command completely. How figure out why zsh wants to make this correct, and prevent it from occurring? Regression: * ssh User@192.168.13.3 also zsh correct to User@192.168.12.2 * ssh 192.168.13.2 does not trap the zsh correct to ssh 192.168.12.2 * ssh User@192.168.13.4 does not zsh correct to User@192.168.12.2 * there is a .zsh_history file of 2013 while zsh is configured for a maximum history of 2000 commands * removing all occurences of ssh User@192.168.12.2 from .zsh_history doesn't improve * both 192.168.13.2 and 192.168.12.2 list as host on tab completion

$ cat .zshrc

When typing quickly, I often mistype cd ~/myfiles as cd ~?myfiles, resulting in: zsh: no matches found: ~?myfiles Is there a way ZSH can autocorrect such mistakes?

I like zsh's autocorrect for commands. It has an annoying feature, however: sometimes I try to run a command, notice it doesn't exist, install it, then try to run it again, and zsh still wants to make the same correction. Zsh does this because keeps a hash of command paths, and it doesn't go beyond the hash when doing autocorrection. If I say n to the correction after installing the command, the command does run, but I have to say n again each time I want to run the command, or update the command hash in each running instance by calling the hash builtin. I do want zsh to keep a hash of command paths, and I want to keep autocorrection (i.e. I type a command name and press Enter as usual, and zsh suggests a correction if the command does not exist). However, I want “the command does not exist” to mean that the command is not on $path at this point in time, not that the command is does not exist. Steps to reproduce: $ mkdir /tmp/test $ cp /bin/true /tmp/test/wibble $ PATH=/tmp/test:/bin zsh -f -o correct darkstar% wobble zsh: correct 'wobble' to 'wibble' [nyae]? a darkstar% cp /tmp/test/{wibble,wobble} darkstar% wobble zsh: correct 'wobble' to 'wibble' [nyae]? n Desired behavior: when wobble exists, don't prompt to correct it. How can I do this?

I would like to disable a feature. However Zsh is ignoring the settings I am inputting: > bind zsh: correct 'bind' to 'find' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: bind > setopt nocorrectall > bind zsh: correct 'bind' to 'find' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: bind > unsetopt correctall > bind zsh: correct 'bind' to 'find' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: bind How are these properly used?

Suppose I entered the following thing into terminal: wgets "link" I will get the response: > No command 'wgets' found, did you mean: Command 'wget' from package 'wget' (main) I made a mistake, and the terminal warned me. Is there a command that I can type after the terminal warned me, so that then it will execute the command above with what it thought it was? For example: ->wgets "link" ->No command 'wgets' found, did you mean: Command 'wget' from package 'wget' (main) ->yes (this command I am looking for ... is there one?) -> executing wget "link"

This isn't exactly a duplicate, as I want correct_all still active. I do mess up arguments from time to time and ZSH is happy to help me. The rub happens when I am in my home directory and I want to manage sshd with something like systemctl reload ssh or service ssh start it always asks me if I want to correct to .ssh. I usually perform my work in $HOME so this gets rather annoying. I have already tried alias ssh='nocorrect ssh' and alias ssh='nocorrectall ssh' (which I don't think does anything). Any ideas on how to solve this?

I don't remember a UNIX command that allowed you to remember how to write correctly a command. Let's supose that the command that I say is called MISPELL So running MISPELL will produce the following output: $ MISPELL chlmod Output: chmod

I've seen and read about zsh offering auto correction of a command input. Eg- if I type sl, it should ask me something like "did you mean ls?" But, in my zsh, this does not happen. It just gives an error. Is there a reason for this, some settings maybe? (And yes, I'm sure that I'm running zsh and not bash or something)

When zsh's autocorrection suggests a change in long filename, it may be hard to spot which change is actually suggested: The example is of cause artificial as tab completion would've done the job (and I can blindly accept the correction w/o proofreading). But there may be other cases where I really want to proofread the suggestion and would appreciate if the suggested change (i.e. only the added 0 in the example) was highlighted in boldface. EDIT: It's also discussed [on zsh-workers](http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=38538) and [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/issues/323)

I have three folders called ProjectA, ProjectB and ProjectC. When I tab-complete cd to cd Project and press Enter, it chooses ProjectC. I've found this is also the case with other similar cases; it defaults to the last in lexicographic order (but this may also be most recently changed/added). Is this expected default behaviour for cd, or have I set something by accident here? I'm running OSX 10.10.3, with bash 4.3.

I have the following completion: zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _approximate As a result if I type something incorrectly and hit TAB I will see a list with corrected propositions (what I like) and at the same time misspelled word will be changed automatically at command line with first proposition (what I do not like). So how to get rid of this in-line automatic correction? I just want list of possible correction but command line should stick with original text.

I like zsh autocorrect, but it keeps asking me about things that don't need correcting. dzil build zsh: correct 'build' to '.build' [nyae]? % .build is a directory created by the build (or any other commands that run that action so dzil .build is always wrong, and dzil build is always right. Is there any way I can communicate this to the autocorrect system?

Although I love zsh, and find its spelling correction useful, it is annoying that it corrects things that ***obviously*** should not be corrected. For instance, I just executed mv iso_ iso and it replied zsh: correct 'iso' to 'iso_' [nyae]? Think about it. Correcting 'iso' to 'iso_' would mean I was trying to execute mv iso_ iso_ which would NEVER make sense. Therefore this is really a design flaw in zsh, and should be corrected across the board. But, given that it hasn't been (at least in the version I'm using) and it isn't likely to be, is there some setting to correct it? I would prefer a non-kludgey way of fixing it. Aliases for mv, for example, are kludgey.
