Adding a new-line to the prompt.

Adding a new-line to the prompt.

Howdy.

This is my first day of zsh after some approx 2300 days of bash. First thing
I have to do is recreate my bash prompt which ends in a newline. Tried
inserting a newline with "\n". That didn't do the trick. Googled this for
about an hour but still couldn't solve it.

This is what I have in .zshrc sofar:

fg_green=$'%{\e[0;32m%}'
fg_blue=$'%{\e[0;34m%}'
fg_cyan=$'%{\e[0;36m%}'
fg_red=$'%{\e[0;31m%}'
fg_brown=$'%{\e[0;33m%}'
fg_purple=$'%{\e[0;35m%}'
fg_light_gray=$'%{\e[0;37m%}'
fg_dark_gray=$'%{\e[1;30m%}'
fg_light_blue=$'%{\e[1;34m%}'
fg_light_green=$'%{\e[1;32m%}'
fg_light_cyan=$'%{\e[1;36m%}'
fg_light_red=$'%{\e[1;31m%}'
fg_light_purple=$'%{\e[1;35m%}'
fg_no_colour=$'%{\e[0m%}'

fg_white=$'%{\e[1;37m%}'
fg_black=$'%{\e[0;30m%}'


lb="%{$fg_light_blue%}[%{$fg_no_colour%}"
rb="%{$fg_light_blue%}]%{$fg_no_colour%}"

red_time="%{$fg_red%}%T%{$fg_no_colour%}"
cyan_user="%{$fg_cyan%}%n%{$fg_no_colour%}"

purple_host="%{$fg_purple%}%M%{$fg_no_colour%}"

green_pwd="%{$fg_green%}%~%{$fg_no_colour%}"

PROMPT="%{$lb%}%{$red_time%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$cyan_user%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$purple_host%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$green_pwd%}%{$rb%}
"

Hey Alex,
try this:

PROMPT=$'line0\nline1\nline2-%~%% '

I think $'' quoting is described in zshmisc(1) /QUOTING.

Regards, Frank

Thanks that hit the spot. Now I have this:


fg_green=$'%{\e[0;32m%}'
fg_blue=$'%{\e[0;34m%}'
fg_cyan=$'%{\e[0;36m%}'
fg_red=$'%{\e[0;31m%}'
fg_brown=$'%{\e[0;33m%}'
fg_purple=$'%{\e[0;35m%}'
fg_light_gray=$'%{\e[0;37m%}'
fg_dark_gray=$'%{\e[1;30m%}'
fg_light_blue=$'%{\e[1;34m%}'
fg_light_green=$'%{\e[1;32m%}'
fg_light_cyan=$'%{\e[1;36m%}'
fg_light_red=$'%{\e[1;31m%}'
fg_light_purple=$'%{\e[1;35m%}'
fg_no_colour=$'%{\e[0m%}'

fg_white=$'%{\e[1;37m%}'
fg_black=$'%{\e[0;30m%}'

lb="%{$fg_dark_gray%}[%{$fg_no_colour%}"
rb="$fg_dark_gray]$fg_no_colour"

red_time="$fg_red%T$fg_no_colour"
cyan_user="$fg_cyan%n$fg_no_colour"
purple_host="$fg_purple%M$fg_no_colour"
green_pwd="$fg_green~$fg_no_colour"

PROMPT="$lb$red_time$rb$lb$cyan_user$rb$lb$purple_host$rb$lb$green_pwd$rb"$'\n'

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias l='ls'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias lsd='ls -d'
alias lsa='ls -la'
alias la='ls -lha'
alias lh='ls -lh'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cvs='cvs -q -z6'
alias ssh='ssh -X -C -c blowfish'
alias tat='svn up; svn ci -m"this and that"'



And it works fine.

It doesn't really hurt anything in this case, but you've got too many
%{ and %} in there.  You don't need them both within the definition of
$fg_dark_gray et al. and also around the use of same.

} rb="$fg_dark_gray]$fg_no_colour"

That's better.

In one of your earlier messages you had %{ ... %} aournd some thingd
it should not have been, where it did matter, but you seem to have got
that fixed now.

PS1='

in ~/.zshrc works for me.

If you use the prompt functionality, then you should be using
$prompt_newline (see Section 25.3, "Prompt Themes", in the manual).
