In bash, if I type a command beginning with a '#', bash ignores it as a comment.
Ie, the following is ignored at the bash prompt:
> # Hi there!
Whereas in zsh:
> # Hi there ! zsh: bad pattern: #
How can I ask zsh to do the same?
This is incredibly useful to “store” commands that you want to run later, or to chat when using a shared tmux/screen session.
I am using ‘oh my zsh‘

Method 1
Check if the INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS option is set.
According to this page, “[…] in interactive shells with the INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS option set, […] # causes that word and all the following characters up to a newline to be ignored.”
According to the comments were added later, set -k does exactly the same thing.
