#16 Hello Zsh! Part 1
Zsh is a great alternative to Bash and other Unix shells. It has programmable completion, paging, and many other great features.
We'll take a good look at paging and the completion that Zsh offers in this episode and explore more in the next episode.
As mentioned in the episode, the Zsh Wiki is an excellent source for Zsh information and help with your .zshrc.

#8 Customizing Your Bash Command Prompt
The Bash command prompt can be fairly dull by default.
In this episode we add some color to help differentiate between files, executables, symlinks, and directories. We'll also change the format of the command prompt with the current time and better formatting.

#2 Remapping CAPSLOCK and CONTROL
One of the best changes I've ever made to my computing work flow is swapping my CAPS and CTRL keys. It is much easier on your pinky to hit the CAPS key instead of the standard mapping for CTRL and the CTRL key is used exponentially more than CAPS. In fact, you will likely find that you completely forget about the CAPS key all together.
This is a very easy change to make and have a good effect on your computing for years to come. We'll go though how to do it In MacOSX, Ubuntu Linux, and any Unix/Linux system with Xmodmap.
