# sudo
Easily prefix your current or previous commands with `sudo` by pressing <kbd>esc</kbd> twice.
To use it, add `sudo` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zshplugins=(... sudo)```
## Usage
### Current typed commands
Say you have typed a long command and forgot to add `sudo` in front:
```console$ apt-get install build-essential```
By pressing the <kbd>esc</kbd> key twice, you will have the same command with `sudo` prefixed without typing:
```console$ sudo apt-get install build-essential```
The same happens for editing files with your default editor (defined in `$SUDO_EDITOR`, `$VISUAL` or `$EDITOR`, in that order):
If the editor defined were `vim`:
```console$ vim /etc/hosts```
By pressing the <kbd>esc</kbd> key twice, you will have the same command with `sudo -e` instead of the editor, that would open that editor with root privileges:
```console$ sudo -e /etc/hosts```
### Previous executed commands
Say you want to delete a system file and denied:
```console$ rm some-system-file.txt-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied$```
By pressing the <kbd>esc</kbd> key twice, you will have the same command with `sudo` prefixed without typing:
```console$ rm some-system-file.txt-su: some-system-file.txt: Permission denied$ sudo rm some-system-file.txtPassword:$```
The same happens for file editing, as told before.
## Key binding
By default, the `sudo` plugin uses <kbd>Esc</kbd><kbd>Esc</kbd> as the trigger.If you want to change it, you can use the `bindkey` command to bind it to a different key:
```shbindkey -M emacs '<seq>' sudo-command-linebindkey -M vicmd '<seq>' sudo-command-linebindkey -M viins '<seq>' sudo-command-line```
where `<seq>` is the sequence you want to use. You can find the keyboard sequenceby running `cat` and pressing the keyboard combination you want to use.
