For people using #Zed as #Flatpak, and not spawning the host shell (instead using the internal barebones shell), tell Zed to use the host shell through `host-spawn` and use tour bash location as argument.

After digging into the manual and considering the nuclear nature of a blind -Rns in my first version, I’ve settled on this TUI style one-liner.

`pacman -Qetq | fzf -m --header "Select packages to REMOVE" --preview 'pacman -Qi {}' --preview-window=right:60% | xargs -ro sudo pacman -Rns`

I added this into my zsh plugin and tested it. It works, at least on my laptop. Now can bring the TUI prompt with a hotkey whenever I need to.

Arch rolling updates are great until an AUR binary breaks because it’s looking for an old .so version.

I am working on a Zsh helper called #Mend to handle this. It detects the failure, strips the version suffix, and finds the current provider via pacman -F. I'm using native Zsh string splitting to keep it fast.

It’s a personal project that’s grown a bit. Code review and feedback on the logic is welcome.

XC Manager v0.7.0 is officially out.

Cross-distro Zsh plugin and was recently added to the awesome-zsh-plugins list.

The engine uses fzf (Ctrl+G) to search your vaults and injects logic directly into your prompt buffer so you can tweak the command before hitting enter.

When I started looking in to how the #Zsh docs are built, I assumed I'd be looking at Texinfo sources, because the HTML docs say they're built from that.

But it's weirder: The Zsh documentation source is written in Yodl: ~~Yet Onother~~ Your Own Document Language <https://fbb-git.gitlab.io/yodl/>
