watch

The WATCH plugin is a Zsh utility that simplifies monitoring command output by automatically adding the watch prefix to commands. It saves time and keystrokes when users need to repeatedly execute commands to observe changes in output.

Key Features

• Current Command Prefixing — Press Alt+W to add watch to the currently typed command before execution.
• Previous Command Prefixing — Apply watch to the last executed command from history with the same shortcut.
• Seamless Integration — Works within Zsh shells, especially with Oh My Zsh, as a plugin.
• Based on Sudo Plugin — Built on the design of the official Oh My Zsh sudo plugin for reliability.

Philosophy

The plugin follows a minimalist approach, focusing on a single, intuitive keyboard shortcut to enhance command-line productivity without complex configuration.
