Last week I installed zsh v3.0.5 at home and had lots of fun composing my ~/.zshrc. It took me a while to figure out how to convert my tcsh stuff to zsh, but everything works fine now. I still have a few questions however: - I aliased which-command='whence -vaf', which gives more info than 'whence -c'. But when I type 'ls' and press F4 (bound to which-command), I only get 'ls is /bin/ls' instead of 'ls is aliased to 'ls --color'' _and_ 'ls is /bin/ls'. - Is there a way to have a functionor alias run before every external command? I'd like the xterm titlebar reflect the title of the currently running program, instead of just 'zsh:$PWD'. - Is there a way (function/alias/builtin) to convert a given path to an absolute path?
