Themes

As I fee discomfort when looking at a dark background, so I decide to gradually migrate to Catppuccin Latte theme for all my environments.

How to know your keymap:

Run cat -v in your favorite terminal emulator to observe key codes. (NOTE: In some cases, cat -v shows the wrong key codes. If the key codes shown by cat -v don't work for you, press CTRL-V, then CTRL-UP and CTRL-DOWN at your ZSH command line prompt for correct key codes.)

CTRL-V is actually defined by shell bindings. check it using bindkey | grep quote

CSH default bindings vi-mode

Insert mode bindings

Command	DefaultKeySequence(s)
backward-char	CTRL-B
backward-delete-char	BACKSPACE,DEL
backward-delete-word	CTRL-W
backward-kill-line	CTRL-U
beginning-of-line	CTRL-A
clear-screen	CTRL-L
complete-word	TAB
end-of-line	CTRL-E
kill-line	CTRL-K
