wow thank you so much for taking the time to write your post. Your example code to fix the problem along with explanation helps tremendously. I can understand why %{...%} is helpful here ( https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/2314#issuecomment-32155974), but not where I was using it in my prompt. Thank you also for pointing me to gitstatus and your detailed example code for that as well. I think I'm finally at a good place with my prompt and using zsh with oh-my-zsh. My last remaining issue is with hyper.js not properly handling emoji's and causing the prompt to be off by one character ( https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/3516). Unless you know of some easy fix for that as well, I'm going to just wait for hyper.js to fix that issue ticket. Thanks again for your time and effort.
