RPROMPT before left PROMPT? about zinc HOT 10 CLOSED

It's possible although async redraws might cause problems with the current codebase.

If the RPROMPT doesn't contain any async segments, then there shouldn't be any problem, but for async support to draw outside the current prompt line I'll need to do some thinking...

Here's the simple solution if you don't mind that the RPROMPT is it's own line in the scrollback:

Had to add a NONRENDERABLE display mode that allows direct output to avoid getting some extra spaces: c9d7537

One issue is that ZSH still thinks that the rprompt would be obstructed when the line gets too long, but otherwise it works as intended.

If that's the solution you're looking for then I'll clean up the code, do docs, and put it into master.

Dear, it seems this is exactly what I want. In fact, as the RPROMPT gives info over the last command (exit code, duration, time when it stopped), it makes more sense, for me, to get it placed before the prompt.

However, can't do it like in your video:

prompt_zinc_setup rprompt-previous-line
returns:
ZINC: No such preset found in /cygdrive/d/Users/fni/.dotfiles/plugins/oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/zinc/presets/.

What am I doing wrong?

PS- I'm having a Zinc up-to-date (last commit 4281aa1, on 2019-04-02).

Sorry, I had only committed the preset to the dev branch so far, since it still had some bugs on some systems.

If you want, the preset is on the dev branch at https://github.com/robobenklein/zinc/blob/dev/presets/rprompt-previous-line.zincp.zsh

I haven't put it on master yet since on a RHEL system I have it seems to write-over the previous line for some reason...

prompt_zinc_setup rprompt-previous-line should now work with master.

Hello, it almost work. Yes, it's now on 2 lines; but there is one white triangle almost at the end of the second line.

Can show you a pic if needed.

PS - You're incredible, reacting so quickly to my messages! (Thanks a lot…)

from zinc.

Weird, I thought I fixed that... it still happens on the latest master?

from zinc.

seems alright now. Thanks!!!

PS- I do think the timestamp should be 0-padded, always (at least, by default).

from zinc.

About the timestamp, it's really just ZSH's prompt expansion where you can input your own strftime format for whatever you want: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Prompt-Expansion.html

To generate the strftime format: http://strftime.net/

(I think you'd want function zincs_time(){ REPLY="%D{%H:%M}" })
