How I did it
First I installed zsh!
Next I used Oh My Zsh configuration.
I appended my own customizations to it (the bottom of .zshrc).
I'll explain each, so you can decide if you want to use any of that.
That includes
- Using shift tab to do the reverse cycle through the tab completion as shown in the video
- Everything typed by me in bold
- Allowing comments while typing in zsh (not just scripts)
- Importing my bash aliases and functions to zsh
- And the same effect you normally get in Ubuntu when typing a command from a package that isn't installed.
Example of command not found working in zsh:
➜ Desktop twm
The program 'twm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install twm
zsh: command not found: twm
➜ Desktop
With the Oh My Zsh configuration, you can change your prompt to some custom pre-made ones. I use the default because I like that one.

# Change the line:

# Append these to the end of your .zshrc after the comment about customization
# Meaning add these 4 lines to the end of your .zshrc
# Customize to your needs...
bindkey '^[[Z' reverse-menu-complete # Reverse tab cycle
zle_highlight=( default:bold ) # Bold everything typed
setopt interactivecomments # Allow comments in interactive mode
command_not_found_handler() {/usr/lib/command-not-found $1} # Good 1 ;)
# If you are using debian lenny, the command-not-found package is not in the repos,
# Otherwise, It works with sid and newer as well as in Ubuntu
# The rest of the guide is optional!
# If you want to use some of my bash functions and aliases, continue
# Otherwise just logout and back in and your shell will be using zsh!
# Also my some of my functions and aliases use things such as hamachi,
# So you must edit the file to add/remove what you want.
# If you don't feel comfortable doing that, stop here, logout and back in!

# Be sure to edit that functions_and_aliases file
# To be correct for your computer. For example,

# Now you can use all the functions and alises in that file.
# Also append that source line to your .bashrc if you want to use them in bash

GNU Screen and configuration
(because I used it in the video)
Read here:
http://magazine.redhat.com/2007/09/27/a-guide-to-gnu-screen/
Here's my ~/.screenrc
Note: If you use this, change the directories to ones that exist on your computer
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{=kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B}%Y-%m-%d %{W}%c %{g}]'
# Default screens
chdir ~/
screen -t bash 0 /bin/bash
chdir ~/Coding/CS2213
screen -t zsh 1 # will run zsh by default
chdir ~/Hax0r
screen -t zsh 2 # will run zsh by default
chdir ~/
screen -t zsh 3
And then type screen and that config will be loaded.
Visual Recursive Quick Sort
Final Step
Now after you did all that, head to your gym and squat 385 lbs 2 times (or as many as you can till failure)
