This new thing I found is too kewl, but I need a little help. It sets the Xterm title by echoing: ]; put string here^G and then the rest of the prompt. However, my right prompt is shifted to the left. I suspect This is due to zsh keeping track of the length of the left part of the prompt, then adjusting where to put the right one. Should I just not have a right prompt? Or is there a way around this?
