OMZ colored-man-pages plugin doesn't work

[xenoterracide]

So I have this

source ~/.local/share/znap/zsh-snap/znap.zsh

znap source ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh plugins/colored-man-pages/colored-man-pages.plugin.zsh 

######
# env.sh
######
export ZSH_THEME="typewritten"
export TYPEWRITTEN_CURSOR="block"
export TYPEWRITTEN_RIGHT_PROMPT_PREFIX="# "
export TYPEWRITTEN_RELATIVE_PATH="adaptive"

export EDITOR='vim'
export VISUAL='vim'
export PAGER='less --chop-long-lines'
export LESS="-R --quit-if-one-screen --silent"
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
######
######
# alias.sh
######
alias vi="\vim -Xp"
alias vim="\vim -Xp"
alias brix="\java -jar ~/.local/share/brix/brix.jar"

if command -v bat >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  alias cat="\bat --paging=never --plain"

  alias ls="\exa"
fi

if command -v plocate >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  alias locate="plocate"
fi
######

znap prompt reobin/typewritten

and while the prompt seems to work, the plugin does not. I also tried the plugin without the "file.zsh` at the end. I'm also not seeing a .zwc for the prompt.

For that plugin to work, you do need to load the required libraries first. Try this:

znap source ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh lib/theme-and-appearance 
znap source ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh plugins/colored-man-pages

[ashish-kus]

adding this to my zsh somehow unalias my LS which is aliased to exa
here is my ZSH config

setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE
setopt HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST
setopt HIST_IGNORE_DUPS
setopt HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS
setopt HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS
setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS
export COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true"

znap function _starship starship 'eval "$( starship completions zsh )"'
compctl -K _starship starship


zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'

# Initialize Zoxide for better directory navigatio
eval "$(zoxide init zsh --cmd cd --hook pwd)"

Where exactly do you define that alias? I don't see it in your .zshrc file.

[ashish-kus]

It is kind of not so optimal but please checkout this https://github.com/ashish-kus/CLI-config/tree/main/shell .
i don't this its a nice idea to share all the files here in the discussion.

if I change the order of sourcing files, like aliases after zsh config then everythings work fine.

# sourcing 
LOC=$HOME/.config/shell
PATHLIST=(
    "$LOC/alias"
   "$LOC/path"
   "$LOC/func"
   "$LOC/env.conf"
   "$LOC/$(basename $(readlink /proc/$$/exe))/config"                             #  ``` zsh ```
sourcer(){
    ARR=("$@")
    for i in "${ARR[@]}"
      do
       [ -f $i ] && source  $i
       # echo "$i"
      done
}
sourcer ${PATHLIST[@]}

alias in alias file

#============================= [ alias for EXA ] ==================================
if hash exa 2>/dev/null;then
 alias l='exa -lahF --color=auto --icons --sort=size --group-directories-first'
 alias lss='exa -hF --color=auto --icons --sort=size --group-directories-first'
 alias la='exa -ahF --color=auto --icons --sort=size --group-directories-first'
 alias ls='exa -lhF --color=auto --icons --sort=Name --group-directories-first'
 alias lst='exa -lahFT --color=auto --icons --sort=size --group-directories-first'
 alias lt='exa -aT --icons --group-directories-first --color=auto --sort=size'
fi

Please let me know if i am doing something wrong.
Thanks.

I have no idea what you're doing; there's too much going on. Please narrow it down to the smallest possible set of commands that can reproduce the problem.
