sudo
Easily prefix your current or previous commands with sudo
by pressing esc twice.
To use it, add sudo
to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
plugins=(... sudo)
Usage
Current typed commands
Say you have typed a long command and forgot to add sudo
in front:
$ apt-get install build-essential
By pressing the esc key twice, you will have the same command with sudo
prefixed without typing:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
Previous executed commands
Say you want to delete a system file and denied:
$ rm some-system-file.txt
-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied
$
By pressing the esc key twice, you will have the same command with sudo
prefixed without typing:
$ rm some-system-file.txt
-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied
$ sudo rm some-system-file.txt
Password:
$
Key binding
By default, the sudo
plugin uses EscEsc as the trigger.
If you want to change it, you can use the bindkey
command to bind it to a different key:
bindkey -M emacs '<seq>' sudo-command-line
bindkey -M vicmd '<seq>' sudo-command-line
bindkey -M viins '<seq>' sudo-command-line
where <seq>
is the sequence you want to use. You can find the keyboard sequence
by running cat
and pressing the keyboard combination you want to use.
