In @.zshrc:
- Around line 110-116: The fzf-tab preview command uses an unquoted $realpath
which breaks on paths with spaces; update the zstyle entry for
':fzf-tab:complete:cd:*' fzf-preview so the path expansion is quoted (i.e.,
ensure $realpath is wrapped in double quotes inside the fzf-preview string) so
eza receives the full path correctly and won’t treat parts as flags or separate
args.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 35: The header badges still show "<100ms" startup and "~6ms" input lag
which conflicts with the new 70ms/3ms targets; locate the top header badges (the
badge images/alt/title text that contain "<100ms" and "~6ms") and update their
labels and any shields.io query parameters or alt/title attributes to reflect
the new "≤70ms startup" and "≈3ms input lag" values so the visual badges and
underlying links match the README's updated claim.

In @.zshrc:
- Around line 229-234: The snippet hardcodes $HOME when checking/compiling the
zsh byte-compiled file (.zshrc.zwc) and should respect a custom ZDOTDIR; update
the logic that references "$HOME/.zshrc" and "$HOME/.zshrc.zwc" to compute the
dotfile path using ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME} (or a variable like dotdir) so checks and
the zcompile invocation use "${dotdir}/.zshrc" and "${dotdir}/.zshrc.zwc"
instead; apply the same change to the other occurrences mentioned (lines
handling the .zshrc/.zshrc.local paths) and keep the zcompile "$.../.zshrc" call
consistent with the new dotdir variable.
- Around line 76-83: The compdump compile command currently hardcodes
~/.zcompdump; update the zinit atload/atinit block that runs
zicompinit/zicdreplay and the zcompile invocation to respect ZSH_COMPDUMP and
ZDOTDIR by using the computed compdump path (e.g.,
${ZSH_COMPDUMP:-${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zcompdump}) instead of ~/.zcompdump so
zcompile targets the actual dump file used by the environment; adjust the
conditional that checks modification time to use that same computed variable and
keep the zicompinit/zicdreplay calls intact.

~/.zcompdumpstill hardcoded in theatloadhook.This was flagged in a previous review and remains unresolved. The

18-18:zinit loadadds unnecessary tracking overhead for binary/program plugins — preferzinit light.These plugins all use
as"program" from"gh-r", meaning zinit only places a binary in$PATH— there's no shell code to track. Switching back tozinit lighteliminates the per-plugin reporting overhead, which is directly at odds with this PR's sub-second startup goal.♻️ Proposed change (apply to each `zinit load` line for binary plugins)

This PR introduces fzf-tab to modernize the shell completion experience and implements zcompile logic to ensure the configuration remains snappy despite the added functionality.
🛠 Key Changes
fzf-tab: Replaces the clunky default Zsh completion menu with a modern, fuzzy-searchable interface. This allows for lightning-fast filtering of completions directly viafzf.zcompile): Optimized startup times by automatically compiling high-traffic scripts and the newfzf-tabmodule into.zwcfiles.fzf-tab.📊 Benchmark Results
Note
Total startup time remains highly optimized thanks to the
zcompileimplementation. The docs have been updated to reflect the new sub-second load times.🧪 How to Test
git checkout perf/fzf-tab-optimizationsource ~/.zshrc.cd [TAB]orgit checkout [TAB]to see the fuzzy-searchable completion menu..zwcfiles in the plugin directory to confirmzcompileis working.Generated by the 0xdilshan performance & docs initiative.
