I really like the REPL’s shell mode (the thing you get after typing ;
). But I struggle with understanding which features of my normal $SHELL
are available, and which don’t work. I’ve read the official docs, but I can’t find the answers to these questions:
- Why aren’t the aliases I define in my e.g.
~/.zshrc
available? - Can I do any job control (run things in the background with
&
, etc.)? - Why can’t I set shell variables?
Is there anywhere I can find the answers to this questions?
I run Julia on Linux if it matters, and I use zsh
as my shell.
