In that case, go to

~/.oh-my-zsh/lib/correction.zsh

and add the line

alias hg='nocorrect hg'

.

I shall be taking partial credit for that

I just installed ZSH on my Debian VPS, and I'm loving it, especially your theme Kyek. You mentioned that awesome feature of going back to the beginning of a command. But when I hit ESC, nothing happens... Helpz?

Apparently Lion's resume only works with bash I like ZSH, but that feature was really nice.

pure awesomeness.
read about zsh before but never felt a "need" for it - just installed it right now and its really, really really so much better!

Update, one problem came up though:
Since changing to ZSH, I always have to provide my github username & password every time I perform a github transaction. Couldn't find anything relevant in my ~/.profile file - am I missing something or do I have to configure ZSH in some way to handle github transparently like my bash config did (without me doing anything specific I recall...)?

Just use SSH keys like everyone else

Duh, I do. It just seems like my keys are not recognized when I use zsh? I've never used password authentication using bash...

Strange, just make sure the keys are in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and it should work...
Works fine for me anyway

really strange - NOW it works - a few hours ago I had to type in my credentials for every push... Well, problem seems to have resolved itself

...update: it was this, which has nothing to do with ZSH, pure coincidence that I started working on a repo which I had cloned over ssh for the first time right after switching to ZSH... the facepalm.

The ESC thing only works if you have the vim plugin enabled. Then you hit ESC and nothing will change except for the fact that you'll be in a vim-like command mode, so hit capital i and THEN your cursor will be at the beginning ;-). If the vim plugin isn't on, it defaults to Emacs-style editing. So the same basic features are available ... they're just 30 times more annoying ;-).

I have set it up so it knows my aliases and has some nice color and looks basically like my normal bash, but it is way to slow and buggy for me to use. I haven't really seen any benefit from it so far.

MT Lion has issues with oh-my-zsh.

git_compare_version:4: command not found: git

This is at the start whenever I open terminal window.

Ha, thats the only issue. Git still works but that annoying comment is there. It happend with lion also but OMZ fixed it. The comment is being displayed incorrectly because the git command works perfectly.

That's not really a massive showstopper, that's just Git either being uninstalled or moved to an unexpected directory outside your specified path. Check that git is installed and if it is then check the git plugin file in the oh-my-zsh directory. I'll probably be installing ML in an hour or two and if I have the same issue with git I'll see if I can put together a patch to fix it.

Dont worry about it, I replied to an issue from when it happened during lion installs and someone replied with this.

One of my favorite things is being able to see if there local changes in a directory at a glance - The yellow cross on the right.

I do that too -- fantastically helpful

Regarding the Mountain Lion thing, though... not sure what's up with your config, @Tom (though it sounds like something was wrong since well before you installed Mountain Lion) but I upgraded my home and work systems today and my Zsh is running excellently, as well as git.

I saw this slide deck posted on Twitter recently: http://www.slideshar...-shell-16194692

Points out some really handy Zsh features that I didn't know about
