zi edit

Summary

Open a plugin’s main file in $EDITOR. A quick way to inspect or patch a plugin’s source without navigating to its directory manually.

Syntax / Usage

zi edit {plg-spec}

Details

Resolves the plugin’s directory, finds its main sourced file (following the same pick logic Zinit uses at load time), and opens it with the editor defined in the $EDITOR environment variable. If $EDITOR is unset, the behavior is system-dependent.

Examples

# Edit zsh-autosuggestions main file
zi edit zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
