Bera Mono is a very nice monospace font included in TeX Live. It’s installed by the Debian texlive-fonts-extra package.

One of the things that irked me about zsh was that M-f, M-b and the like moved over slashes in paths. If I have a long path like /foo/bar/baz I want to be able to press M-DEL to delete baz. By default zle, the zsh line editor, treats /foo/bar/baz as a single word. To get it to treat / as a word separator, place the following in your .zshrc:
```
# Don't treat slashes as part of words
WORDCHARS="${WORDCHARS:s#/#}"
```
