[Bug]: zsh keybindings in `.zshrc` is overriden somewhere

[zeerayne]

Description

I'm using special keybinding for arrow up and arrow down button in my .zshrc:

bindkey "${terminfo[kcuu1]}"  history-substring-search-up
bindkey "^[[A"                history-substring-search-up

bindkey "${terminfo[kcud1]}"  history-substring-search-down
bindkey "^[[B"                history-substring-search-down

But when shell loads if I query what is binded, it will be other fucntion:

❯ bindkey "${terminfo[kcuu1]}"
"^[OA" up-line-or-beginning-search

Keybind can be set properly using completions:

❯ cat ~/.config/zsh/completions/keybindings.zsh
# Autocompletion using arrow keys (based on history)
## Arrow up
bindkey "${terminfo[kcuu1]}"  history-substring-search-up
bindkey "^[[A"                history-substring-search-up
## Arrow down
bindkey "${terminfo[kcud1]}"  history-substring-search-down
bindkey "^[[B"                history-substring-search-down

This is workaround, but it will be cool if keybinds can be set from .zshrc

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install plugin zsh-history-substring-search
2. Enable plugin in user.zsh

   plugins=(
       ...
       "zsh-history-substring-search"
       ...
   )

3. Put bindkey to .zshrc

   bindkey "${terminfo[kcuu1]}"  history-substring-search-up
   bindkey "^[[A"                history-substring-search-up
   
   bindkey "${terminfo[kcud1]}"  history-substring-search-down
   bindkey "^[[B"                history-substring-search-down

4. Query bindings from terminal using bindkey "${terminfo[kcuu1]}"

Expected Behavior

.zshrc should have highest priority and override all others.

Actual Behavior

.zshrc is overriden by _load_omz_on_init() which is loaded asynchronously, and thats why workaround with completions work.

Well yeah that asynchronous function messes up everything. I'll take a closer look.

Maybe I'll revert the pure OMZ functionality without deferring.

one workaround is to expose an optional keybinds.zsh file

[kRHYME7]

ah! luckily zshrcs is the only config specifically for interactive shell! Also, I already solve this issue some time ago but, I removed it due to confusion. I will revert this and it should make zshrc work.

please try

[zeerayne]

Tried, it feels worse: after shell starts no promt theme from .zshrc is applied, theme is applied only after any command:

Addition: all works fine if I comment two lines:

- 71 chmod +r $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc # Make sure .zshrc is readable
+ 71 #chmod +r $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc # Make sure .zshrc is readable

- 89 [[ ${VSCODE_INJECTION} == 1 ]] || chmod -r $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc # let vscode read .zshrc
+ 89 #[[ ${VSCODE_INJECTION} == 1 ]] || chmod -r $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc # let vscode read .zshrc

More addition: current load method is not compatible with bat -- alias:
ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#12457

[kRHYME7]

@zeerayne I'll add an option to not defer omz. It does not help with powerful hardware.

About the bat incompatibility well it's because of omz if we think about it.But omz is already rooted on zsh eco-system so we need to accept that fact and make our way around things. Compromise included.
