<p>The Zsh Manual, like the shell itself, is large and often complicated.
This section of the manual provides some pointers to areas of the shell
that are likely to be of particular interest to new users, and indicates
where in the rest of the manual the documentation is to be found.

<h2 class="section">3.1 When the shell starts</h2>
<p>When it starts, the shell reads commands from various files. These can
be created or edited to customize the shell. See <a href="Files.html#Files">Files</a>.
</p>
<p>If no personal initialization files exist for the current user, a function
is run to help you change some of the most common settings. It won’t
appear if your administrator has disabled the <tt>zsh/newuser</tt> module.
The function is designed to be self-explanatory. You can run it by hand
with ‘<tt>autoload -Uz zsh-newuser-install; zsh-newuser-install -f</tt>’.

<h2 class="section">3.2 Interactive Use</h2>
<p>Interaction with the shell uses the builtin Zsh Line Editor, ZLE. This is
described in detail in <a href="Zsh-Line-Editor.html#Zsh-Line-Editor">Zsh Line Editor</a>.
</p>
<p>The first decision a user must make is whether to use the Emacs or Vi
editing mode as the keys for editing are substantially different. Emacs
editing mode is probably more natural for beginners and can be selected
explicitly with the command <tt>bindkey -e</tt>.
</p>
<p>A history mechanism for retrieving previously typed lines (most simply
with the Up or Down arrow keys) is available; note that, unlike other
shells, zsh will not save these lines when the shell exits unless you
set appropriate variables, and the number of history lines retained by
default is quite small (30 lines). See the description of the shell
variables (referred to in the documentation as parameters) <tt>HISTFILE</tt>,
<tt>HISTSIZE</tt> and <tt>SAVEHIST</tt> in <a href="Parameters.html#Parameters-Used-By-The-Shell">Parameters Used By The Shell</a>.
</p>
<p>The shell now supports the UTF-8 character set (and also others if
supported by the operating system). This is (mostly) handled transparently
by the shell, but the degree of support in terminal emulators is variable.
There is some discussion of this in the shell FAQ,
http://zsh.dotsrc.org/FAQ/ . Note in particular that for combining
characters to be handled the option <tt>COMBINING_CHARS</tt> needs to be set.
Because the shell is now more sensitive to the definition of the
character set, note that if you are upgrading from an older version of
the shell you should ensure that the appropriate variable, either
<tt>LANG</tt> (to affect all aspects of the shell’s operation) or
<tt>LC_CTYPE</tt> (to affect only the handling of character sets) is set to
an appropriate value. This is true even if you are using a
single-byte character set including extensions of ASCII such as
<tt>ISO-8859-1</tt> or <tt>ISO-8859-15</tt>. See the description of <tt>LC_CTYPE</tt>
in
<a href="Parameters.html#Parameters">Parameters</a>.

<h3 class="subsection">3.2.1 Completion</h3>
<p>Completion is a feature present in many shells. It allows the user to
type only a part (usually the prefix) of a word and have the shell fill
in the rest. The completion system in zsh is programmable. For
example, the shell can be set to complete email addresses in
arguments to the mail command from your <tt>~/.abook/addressbook</tt>;
usernames, hostnames, and even remote paths in arguments to scp, and so
on. Anything that can be written in or glued together with zsh can be
the source of what the line editor offers as possible completions.
</p>
<p>Zsh has two completion systems, an old, so called <tt>compctl</tt> completion
(named after the builtin command that serves as its complete and only
user interface), and a new one, referred to as <tt>compsys</tt>,
organized as library of builtin and user-defined functions.
The two systems differ in their interface for specifying the completion
behavior. The new system is more customizable and is supplied with
completions for many commonly used commands; it is therefore to be
preferred.
</p>
<p>The completion system must be enabled explicitly when the shell starts.
For more information see
<a href="Completion-System.html#Completion-System">Completion System</a>.

<h3 class="subsection">3.2.2 Extending the line editor</h3>
<p>Apart from completion, the line editor is highly extensible by means of
shell functions. Some useful functions are provided with the shell; they
provide facilities such as:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <tt>insert-composed-char</tt></dt>
<dd><p>composing characters not found on the keyboard
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>match-words-by-style</tt></dt>
<dd><p>configuring what the line editor considers a word when moving or
deleting by word
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>history-beginning-search-backward-end</tt>, etc.</dt>
<dd><p>alternative ways of searching the shell history
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>replace-string</tt>, <tt>replace-pattern</tt></dt>
<dd><p>functions for replacing strings or patterns globally in the command line
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>edit-command-line</tt></dt>
<dd><p>edit the command line with an external editor.
</p>
</dd>

<h2 class="section">3.4 Pattern Matching</h2>

(described in the documentation as ‘filename generation’ and also known for
historical reasons as ‘globbing’) and for use when programming. These are
described in <a href="Expansion.html#Filename-Generation">Filename Generation</a>.
</p>
<p>Of particular interest are the following patterns that are not commonly
supported by other systems of pattern matching:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <tt>**</tt></dt>
<dd><p>for matching over multiple directories
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>~</tt>, <tt>^</tt></dt>
<dd><p>the ability to exclude patterns from matching when the <tt>EXTENDED_GLOB</tt>
option is set
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>(</tt><var>...</var><tt>)</tt></dt>
<dd><p>glob qualifiers, included in parentheses at the end of the pattern,
which select files by type (such as directories) or attribute (such as
size).

<h2 class="section">3.5 General Comments on Syntax</h2>
<p>Although the syntax of zsh is in ways similar to the Korn shell, and
therefore more remotely to the original UNIX shell, the Bourne shell,
its default behaviour does not entirely correspond to those shells.
General shell syntax is introduced in <a href="Shell-Grammar.html#Shell-Grammar">Shell Grammar</a>.
</p>
<p>One commonly encountered difference is that variables substituted onto the
command line are not split into words. See the description of the shell option
<tt>SH_WORD_SPLIT</tt> in
<a href="Expansion.html#Parameter-Expansion">Parameter Expansion</a>.
In zsh, you can either explicitly request the splitting (e.g. <tt>${=foo}</tt>)
or use an array when you want a variable to expand to more than one word. See
<a href="Parameters.html#Array-Parameters">Array Parameters</a>.

<h2 class="section">3.6 Programming</h2>
<p>The most convenient way of adding enhancements to the shell is typically
by writing a shell function and arranging for it to be autoloaded.
Functions are described in <a href="Functions.html#Functions">Functions</a>. Users changing from the C shell and its
relatives should notice that aliases are less used in zsh as they don’t
perform argument substitution, only simple text replacement.
</p>
<p>A few general functions, other than those for the line editor described
above, are provided with the shell and are described in
<a href="User-Contributions.html#User-Contributions">User Contributions</a>. Features include:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <tt>promptinit</tt></dt>
<dd><p>a prompt theme system for changing prompts easily, see <a href="User-Contributions.html#Prompt-Themes">Prompt Themes</a>
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>zsh-mime-setup</tt></dt>
<dd><p>a MIME-handling system which dispatches commands according to the suffix of
a file as done by graphical file managers
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>zcalc</tt></dt>
<dd><p>a calculator
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>zargs</tt></dt>
<dd><p>a version of <tt>xargs</tt> that makes the <tt>find</tt> command redundant
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <tt>zmv</tt></dt>
<dd><p>a command for renaming files by means of shell patterns.
</p>
</dd>
