Zsh Prompt Alignment Issues
Below is my zsh prompt configuration. Within Emacs (eterm) and Intellij terminals the display is compromised. Below is a representation of the display.
% |
ari@machine:~% → [16:38:14]
The issues are:
- The existence of a percentage symbol indicating non-privileged shell on
the top line - The cursor (notice the vertical bar) is located above
the configured left and right prompts, and far to the right of the screen - The left and right prompts are located next to each other, rather
than at opposite ends of the screen
Does anyone see any issues with the either of the prompt configurations?
precmd() {
vcs_info
}
zstyle ':vcs_info:git*' formats '%b'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
BRANCH_MARK=$'ue0a0'
ARROW_PROMPT=$'u2192'
STATUS="%(?:%{$fg[green]%}$ARROW_PROMPT:%{$fg[red]%}$ARROW_PROMPT)"
scm_branch() {
if [ -n "${vcs_info_msg_0_}" ]; then
echo -e "${BRANCH_MARK} ${vcs_info_msg_0_}"
fi
}
PROMPT='%n@%m:%{$fg[cyan]%}%~%{$reset_color%}%# ${STATUS} %{$reset_color%}'
RPROMPT='$(scm_branch) [%*]'

It's a little unreasonable to ask people to explain a visible effect with only a vague and cursory mention of what the visible effect is. You really should edit the question to show potential answerers what spaces, how many spaces, and exactly where they are occurring. You haven't even told people enough to determine which of those two prompts to look at, and that's basic minimal information about which side of the screen this is happening on.

I would suspect those unicode characters are running afoul of something, but don't use a prompt so fancy. Maybe look at the MULTIBYTE option or the%G
prompt escape?

@JdeBP The posted configuration was my first attempt at configuring a zsh prompt, therefore thought the issue would be the result of an obvious syntactical oversight - hence the limited contextual information. In any event, while attempting to debug the issue, determined the cause is theRPROMPT
. I've accordingly updated post. Thanks.
