Question 1

How to set up Zeno with lazy loading in Zsh?

Accepted Answer

Source zeno-bootstrap.zsh, use zeno-bind-default-keys --lazy, and defer zeno-preload with zsh-defer to reduce shell startup time, as detailed in the lazy-load APIs section.

Question 2

Zeno vs fzf-tab: which is better for completion?

Accepted Answer

Zeno integrates fuzzy completion with snippet expansion and scoped history, while fzf-tab focuses solely on completion. Choose Zeno for a unified workflow, but fzf-tab if you prefer a lighter, completion-only plugin.

Question 3

Why does Zeno require Deno and is it necessary?

Accepted Answer

Zeno uses Deno for performance and to execute TypeScript configs dynamically, but it adds a dependency that might not be needed in simpler shell tools, potentially complicating setup.

Question 4

How to configure snippets in Zeno with placeholders?

Accepted Answer

In YAML or TypeScript configs, define snippets with '{{placeholder}}' syntax and use the preprompt feature or context settings to insert and navigate placeholders during expansion.

Question 5

Does Zeno work with oh-my-zsh or other Zsh frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you may need to manage initialization order and key bindings to avoid conflicts, especially with other plugins that modify ZLE or completion systems.

Question 6

What are the limitations of Zeno on Fish shell?

Accepted Answer

Fish support is experimental, with differences in key binding syntax and potential missing features, and socket mode is enabled by default, which might not suit all environments.
