:This new thing I found is too kewl, but I need a little help.
: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?
:PROMPT='^[];[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t\a[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t '
^ insert ``%{'' ^ insert ``%}''
thus
PROMPT='%{^[];[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t^G%}[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t '
>From the manual (section PROMPT EXPANSION):
%{...%}
Include a string as a literal escape sequence. The
string within the braces should not change the cur-
sor position. Brace pairs can nest.
