«Zsh for Humans» (z4h by @romkatv on GitHub) is a configuration for z-shell that just works and works well. It has a killer ssh wrapper feature, that lets you auto-push your zsh environment up to a remote server, and is pre-configured with the most useful stuff. So sweet. 😎

That is not to even mention the awesome prompt it includes: powerlevel10k.

Use the ssh wrapper like this:

1

% z4h ssh myuser@thehost.com

If you are on MacOS, be sure to tweak some settings in your term so the bindings work as expected:

• iTerm2:
  • iTerm, Prefs, Profiles (select your profile), Keys, then…
  • Right/Left option key: Esc+
• Kitty:
  • in the config file: macos_option_as_alt yes

Now you can enter a command like history and before hitting Enter, press Alt-H to show help for that command.
