When doing shell work, it is often the case that echo $variable is invoked multiple times, to check result of a loop, etc.

With ZBrowse, you just need to press Ctrl-B, which invokes the ZBrowse – Zshell variable browser.

First install the ZUI plugin (it's an UI library).

The plugin is "standalone", which means that only sourcing it is needed. So to install, unpack zbrowse somewhere and add

source {where-zbrowse-is}/zbrowse.plugin.zsh

to zshrc.

If using a plugin manager, then ZI is recommended, but you can use any other too, and also install with Oh My Zsh (by copying directory to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins).

Add zi load z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file. ZI will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh. To update run zi update z-shell/zbrowse (update-all can also be used).

Add antigen bundle z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh.

1. cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
2. git clone [email protected]:z-shell/zbrowse.git
3. Add zbrowse to your plugin list

Add zgen load z-shell/zbrowse to your .zshrc file in the same place you're doing your other zgen load calls.
