## Shell Integration
|
|
|
|
wezterm supports integrating with the shell through the following means:
|
|
|
|
* OSC 7 Escape sequences to advise the terminal of the working directory
|
|
* OSC 133 Escape sequence to define Input, Output and Prompt zones
|
|
|
|
These sequences enable some improved user experiences, such as being able
|
|
to spawn new panes, tabs and windows with the same current working directory
|
|
as the current pane, [jumping through the scrollback to the start of an earlier command](config/lua/keyassignment/ScrollToPrompt.md),
|
|
or [conveniently selecting the complete output from a command](config/lua/keyassignment/SelectTextAtMouseCursor.md).
|
|
|
|
In order for these features to be enabled, you will need to configure your
|
|
shell program to emit the escape sequences at the appropriate place.
|
|
|
|
You can find some [examples for various shells in the wezterm
|
|
repo](https://github.com/wez/wezterm/tree/main/assets/shell-integration).
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd, the Fedora and Debian packages
|
|
automatically activate shell integration for Bash and Zsh.
|
|
|
|
If you're on another system, more information on how these escapes work
|
|
can be found below.

### OSC 7 Escape sequence to set the working directory
|
|
|
|
`OSC` is escape sequence jargon for *Operating System Command*; `OSC 7` means
|
|
Operating System Command number 7. This is an escape sequence that originated
|
|
in the macOS Terminal application that is used to advise the terminal of the
|
|
current working directory.
|
|
|
|
An application (usually your shell) can be configured to emit this escape
|
|
sequence when the current directory changes, or just to emit it each time
|
|
it prints the prompt.
|
|
|
|
The current working directory can be specified as a URL like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
printf "\033]7;file://HOSTNAME/CURRENT/DIR\033\\"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**When the current working directory has been set via OSC 7, spawning
|
|
a new tab will use the current working directory of the current tab,
|
|
so that you don't have to manually change the directory**.
|
|
|
|
If you are on a modern Fedora installation, the defaults for bash and
|
|
zsh source a `vte.sh` script that configures the shell to emit this
|
|
sequence. On other systems you will likely need to configure this
|
|
for yourself.
|
|
|
|
### OSC 7 on Windows with cmd.exe
|
|
|
|
`cmd.exe` doesn't allow a lot of flexibility in configuring the prompt,
|
|
but fortunately it does allow for emitting escape sequences. You
|
|
can use the `set_environment_variables` configuration to pre-configure
|
|
the prompt environment in your `.wezterm.lua`; this example configures
|
|
the use of OSC 7 as well as including the time and current directory in
|
|
the visible prompt with green and purple colors, and makes the prompt
|
|
span multiple lines:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return {
|
|
set_environment_variables = {
|
|
prompt = "$E]7;file://localhost/$P$E\\$E[32m$T$E[0m $E[35m$P$E[36m$_$G$E[0m ",
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using clink on Windows Systems
|
|
|
|
[Clink](https://github.com/mridgers/clink) brings bash style line editing to
|
|
your Windows cmd.exe experience. If you haven't installed clink to be the
|
|
global default on your system, you can configure wezterm to launch clink by
|
|
setting the `default_prog` configuration in your `.wezterm.lua`; for example,
|
|
if you have extracted clink to `c:\clink_0.4.9` you might configure this:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
|
|
local default_prog;
|
|
local set_environment_variables = {}
|
|
|
|
if wezterm.target_triple == "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc" then
|
|
-- Use OSC 7 as per the above example
|
|
set_environment_variables["prompt"] = "$E]7;file://localhost/$P$E\\$E[32m$T$E[0m $E[35m$P$E[36m$_$G$E[0m "
|
|
-- use a more ls-like output format for dir
|
|
set_environment_variables["DIRCMD"] = "/d"
|
|
-- And inject clink into the command prompt
|
|
default_prog = {"cmd.exe", "/s", "/k", "c:/clink_0.4.9/clink_x64.exe", "inject", "-q"}
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
default_prog = default_prog,
|
|
set_environment_variables = set_environment_variables,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, rather than just running `cmd.exe` on its own, this will cause `cmd.exe`
|
|
to self-inject the clink line editor.
