### Installing the shell widget

If you want to install it, add this line to your `.bashrc`-like file:
```sh
# bash
eval "$(navi widget bash)"

# zsh
eval "$(navi widget zsh)"

# fish
navi widget fish | source

# elvish
eval (navi widget elvish | slurp)
```

By default, `Ctrl+G` is assigned to launching **navi**.

There's currently no way to customize the widget behavior out-of-the-box. If you want to change the keybinding or the **navi** flags used by the widget, please:
1. run, e.g., `navi widget bash` in your terminal
2. copy the output
3. paste the output in your `.bashrc`-like file
4. edit the contents accordingly
