Get notified of shell actions.
Hilbish features a simple notification system which can be
used by other plugins and parts of the shell to notify the user
of various actions. This is used via the hilbish.message interface.
A message is defined as a table with the following properties:
icon: A unicode/emoji icon for the notification.title: The title of the messagetext: Message text/bodychannel: The source of the message. This should be a
unique and easily readable text identifier.summary: A short summary of the notification and message.

Customize the interactive script/command runner.
Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted. This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.
