Installing the shell widget

If you want to install it, add this line to your .bashrc-like file:

# bash
eval "$(navi widget bash)"

# zsh
eval "$(navi widget zsh)"

# fish
navi widget fish | source

# elvish
eval (navi widget elvish | slurp)

# xonsh
# xpip install xontrib-navi # ← run in your xonsh session to install xontrib
xontrib load navi # ← add to your xonsh run control file

Nushell

Due to Nushell's unique design, it is not possible to eval a piece of code dynamically like in other shells therefore the integration process is a bit more involved. Here is an example:

1. run ^navi widget nushell | save ($nu.default-config-dir | path join "navi-integration.nu")
2. add the following lines to config.nu:

   source ($nu.default-config-dir | path join "navi-integration.nu")
   

By default, Ctrl+G is assigned to launching navi (in xonsh can be customized with $X_NAVI_KEY, see xontrib-navi for details).

There's currently no way to customize the widget behavior out-of-the-box. If you want to change the keybinding or the navi flags used by the widget, please:

1. run, e.g., navi widget bash in your terminal
2. copy the output
3. paste the output in your .bashrc-like file
4. edit the contents accordingly
