Question 3

zshmarks vs bashmarks: which should I use?

Bookmarks are stored in a plain text file by default, so if sensitive directories are bookmarked, there's no encryption. It's advisable to avoid bookmarking paths with confidential data or secure the bookmarks file with proper file permissions.

Question 6

Can I use zshmarks with fish shell?

Accepted Answer

No, zshmarks is designed specifically for zsh and its frameworks. For fish shell, you would need to seek alternative bookmarking plugins or tools that are compatible with fish, as this plugin does not support other shells.
