General information

Terminal program: iTerm 3.4.15
Operating system: MacOS 12.2.1 & Debian 11 (bullseye)
ZSH framework: oh-my-zsh
ZSH version: 5.8

Problem description

zvm

It's tested on my virtual machine, which behaves like my mac.

Vim mode works when login, but doesn't work after source ~/.zshrc...

I have to re-login to make it work.

Same on my mac, I have to reopen the iTerm to make it work.

my .zshrc:

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)
plugins+=(zsh-vi-mode)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

Reproduction steps

Install oh my zsh
Install zvm

Expected behavior

zvm works after source ~/.zshrc

~~I can't reproduce this.~~

~~New user on arch box. Install oh-my-zsh using curl method. Changed my .zshrc to yours.~~

~~First and foremost, oh-my-zsh won't even load those plugins, they don't exist.~~

~~There is no zsh-vi-mode plugin for oh-my-zsh. It's vi-mode.~~

~~Try using this configuration (with an up-to-date install of oh-my-zsh) and see how it works. It works fine for me.~~

EDIT: Ignore that above. Yes, I can reproduce this too.

If you're already cloning the zsh-vi-mode plugin, why don't you just source the plugin directly?

Hey guys, I found a simple solution to this. If you are using omz, just "omz reload" after sourcing the .zshrc. Then everything will goes well. Considering the "source .zshrc" operation is not that often for me, This solution is enough for me.
