# 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:
```zsh
plugins=(... 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
```
### 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.txt
Password:
$
```
## 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:
```sh
bindkey -M emacs '<seq>' sudo-command-line
bindkey -M vicmd '<seq>' sudo-command-line
bindkey -M viins '<seq>' sudo-command-line
```
where `<seq>` is the sequence you want to use. You can find the keyboard sequence
by running `cat` and pressing the keyboard combination you want to use.
