Thanks @carbolymer. I've actually been following that issue, but I was a bit lost so haven't been commenting.
I went and checked my files against those in the backup
array of this PKGBUILD, but they are essentially the same. I also just checked another system with the same config that is running an older zsh-zim-git r658.4200e6c-1. I can confirm that if I add things to ~/.zimrc
, they are being sourced (e.g. echo foo > /tmp/bar
). However this is not the case in my updated system.
Sorry, just to confirm, are you running the latest r671.6166fce-1, and do you see specific additions to ~/.zimrc
also being sourced?

Ugh, it was a PITA to create this package. Please note that errors are silenced, so if you have any issues with zim, remove
&>/dev/null
from your/etc/zshrc
- https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/zshrc?h=zsh-zim-git&id=5a378e94d516c57d39629de545b78b0f020d86a4I had to do it this way:
$ZIM_HOME
is only writable by root and zim constantly tries to update & recompile itself (=write to$ZIM_HOME
), which results in permission errors when starting zsh as a normal user.If you want to add/remove a module:
zmodule
in/etc/zsh/zimrc
zimfw install && zsh
