This is EXACTLY what I was looking for after upgrading to macOS Catalina and my old bash prompt didn't worked anymore and not wanting to learn yet another encoding thing to have a nice terminal.

Cheers!

It would be nice to be able to configure colors.

Describe the bug
attempting to emulate the default plan9 prompt using this tool will just make zsh show "Term", a work-around is manually editing the zshrc file to include a "%%" so that it shows "Term%"
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1- type in custom text:"Term%"
2- insert that into the user zshrc file

Expected behavior
The prompt shows "Term%"
Screenshots
none needed i think.

Ect.
This also affects the ")" character after checking out the man page of zsh.

It would be great if we can get the script and the GUI for changing colours of each part of the prompt text.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great if there were an option for adding a newline to your $PROMPT, as when I've tried to add it using custom text, it doesn't work.

Describe the solution you'd like
A button that adds the text "$'\n'" to split your $PROMPT across lines. This is how the Parrot Sec project does it for their .zshrc file in their /etc/skel directory:

PROMPT="%F{red}┌[%f%F{cyan}%m%f%F{red}]─[%f%F{yellow}%D{%H:%M-%d/%m}%f%F{red}]─[%f%F{magenta}%d%f%F{red}]%f"$'\n'"%F{red}└╼%f%F{green}$USER%f%F{yellow}$%f"

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't think there are any other alternatives to do this, but let me know if someone has a better way to do it!

It'd be great to add options to include git info like current branch or maybe tag or commit hash prefix if none of the above are existant and also a good fallback to empty if you're not in a git repo.

An option to add colors and bold/underline would be nice.
