light-mode

Summary

light-mode loads a plugin without Zinit’s investigating (reporting) subsystem, the same as using zinit light instead of zinit load. It is primarily useful in the for-syntax where there is no separate light subcommand.

Syntax / Usage

zinit light-mode for \
  zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions \
  zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting

Details

zinit load enables full tracking: aliases, functions, bindkeys, variables, PATH/FPATH entries are all reported. zinit light disables this for faster startup. light-mode ice achieves the same effect from within an ice specification, which is necessary in the for-syntax.

light-mode has no effect when already using zinit light.

Examples

# for-syntax: mix light and normal loads in one declaration
zinit for \
    light-mode \
  zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions \
    light-mode \
  zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting \
  zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-word \
    light-mode \
    pick"async.zsh" \
    src"pure.zsh" \
  sindresorhus/pure
