Doing this means that you can't override anything that is set in the
.zshenv file and have it affect another zsh script or indeed any command
that was spawned using $SHELL (which affects a lot of commands that run
other commands, such as gdb). Because of this, I moved all my non-
interactive variable settings into ~/.zprofile (my interactive settings
have always been in ~/.zshrc) and I reduced the ~/.zshenv file to these
3 lines:
if [[ $SHLVL == 1 && ! -o LOGIN ]]; then
source ~/.zprofile
fi
The overall idea is that I want these variables to be set once, and then
inherited from then on. The reason for the above 3 lines is that some X
windows environments don't start a login shell for an xterm, so this
code makes sure that a top-level shell that is not a login shell still
includes the zprofile information that would have been included
automatically by a login shell. If you have other settings that you
always want to be forced into a certain state regardless of the parent
environment, you could set them there as well.
