Coolest prompt?

Coolest prompt?

[Ziggy]

ZSH allows the user to create interesting prompts. Time displaying, menu bars 
and colors.

Post your prompt (and .zshrc) here.

Mine is a rather simple one:
adi@omega ~ %                                                   1:27PM Fri

My zshrc::

alias d="ls --color"
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias ll="ls --color -lh"
alias nano="nano -w"
alias "nano --override"="nano"
alias BitchX="BitchX dushkinup"
      autoload -U compinit promptinit
      compinit
      promptinit; prompt gentoo

RPROMPT=' %B%@%b %U%D{%a}%u'
prompt="{%U%n#%l@%m:%h%u} %30<...<%~%#"

chpwd() {
   [[ -t 1 ]] || return
   if [[ -n $xterm_prompt ]] {
       print -Pn "\e]2;${USER}@${HOST}:%~\a"
   }
}

Mine currently says

91.0 F Aaron-Davies-Computer~ :) %

the relevant zprofile line is

export PS1='`cat /tmp/temperature`'" %m%~ %(0?.:).:() %# "

but the real magic is in my crontab:

*/15 * * * *    curl -s 
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KSDF.html | grep 'F (' | head 
-n 1 | awk '{print $3 " " $4}' > /tmp/temperature

I got both "cute" ideas (the temp and the return-code smilies) from 
Slashdot discussions on prompt strings.

Re: Coolest prompt?

[William Scott]

My prompt:

%


I'm running on OS X, which includes zsh as one of its three default 
shells (the others are bash and tcsh).  I keep the prompt simple and 
put the information in the title bar of the terminal window where it is 
dynamically updated.  I use a terminal program called iTerm which has 
tabs.  I also update the labels of the tabs dynamically.  I've made a 
number of customizations that might be of use to other OS X zsh users.  
These can be found on my zsh slobbering proselytization page and links 
therein:  http://tinyurl.com/3373b

Well,...

> I keep the prompt simple

I see. I also like simple prompts, but a _bit_ more infos are ok.  ;-)
Therefore my prompt looks like this (relevant parts, be careful with wraps):

precmd () {
 TMPPATH="        "$PWD
 SHORTPATH=${(M)TMPPATH%???????????}
 PS1=$(echo "%{\033[0;36m%}$SHORTPATH%{\033[0m%},%{\033[0;31m%}%j%{\033[0m%}%% ")
}

To see this Prompt in action, look at this example:

e/www/plenz,0% cd www/
w/plenz/www,0% cd plenz.com/
w/plenz.com,0% cd /tmp
       /tmp,0% sleep 10&
[1] 16056
       /tmp,1% cd
[1]  + 16056 done       sleep 10
e/www/plenz,0%

So, you see, there is a fixed path-length and the number of
background jobs. I really like this prompt, its simple but gives
enough information.

You could avoid to write ",0" when there are no background jobs.

Here's my prompt code:

setopt PROMPT_SUBST
setopt PROMPT_PERCENT

zmodload -i zsh/parameter

precmd()
{
  local njobs
  if [[ $domain == local.ay && "$(pmu_battery)" == "Battery" ]] then
    psvar[1]="[$(pmu_percent)%]"
  else
    psvar[1]=""
  fi
  njobs=$#jobstates;
  case $njobs in
    0) psvar[2]=();;
    1) psvar[2]="1 job";;
    *) psvar[2]="$njobs jobs";;
  esac
  [[ -n $TTY && $TERM == (xterm*|dtterm|rxvt|screen*) ]] &&
    {
      print -nP "\e]1;%m:%.\x07"
      print -nP "\e]2;%(2v. %2v |.)${WINTITLE:+ $WINTITLE |} %n@%m - %~ | %y"
      [[ $TERM == screen* ]] && print -n .
      print -n "\x07"
    } > $TTY
}

TRAPCLD() { [[ -o interactive && -n $TTY ]] && precmd }

putprompt()
{
  local preprompt postprompt prefail postfail

  if [[ -n $COLORTERM ]] then
    local bgcol=`tput setab 0`
    preprompt="%{`tput bold`$bgcol%(2v.`tput setaf 2`.`tput setaf 3`)%}"
    postprompt="%{`tput sgr0`%}"
    prefail="%{`tput setab 1`%}"
    postfail="%{$bgcol%}"
  fi

  PS1="%m:%20<...<%~%<<%(?..${prefail}[%?]${postfail})%1v%(#.#.>) "
  RPS1="<%*"

  PS1="$preprompt$PS1$postprompt"
  RPS1="$preprompt$RPS1$postprompt"
  PS2="$preprompt$PS2$postprompt"
  PS3="$preprompt$PS3$postprompt"
  PS4="$preprompt$PS4$postprompt"
}

Mine is quite simple, but I find it to be useful without cluttering up
my terminal.

sjs@diavolo ~ % grep PROMPT .zshrc
# PROMPT SUBTITUTION
export PROMPT=$'%(?..%{\e[41;38m%}%B-%?-%b%{\e[0m%} )%(1j.%{\e[01;33m%}[%j] .)%{\e[01;36m%}%n@%m%{\e[0m%} %{\e[01;32m%}%2~%{\e[0m%} %B%#%b '
export RPROMPT=$'%{\e[01;31m%}[%!]%{\e[0m%}'		# history # on right

It ends up looking like the above, however when there are jobs running
it prepends [N] in yellow, where N is the number of jobs running. If the
exit code of the previous command was non-zero in white on red it
displays -$?- before the prompt. Where ~ is above it displays 2
directories of $PWD. (eg. ~/devel or kernel/linux-2.6.7-rc3-mm1)

Yes, that's a nice feature. :)

I prefer this one:

sartoo: \> cd /usr/share/zsh/4.2.0/functions/        /home/sartoo [61,69] 
sartoo: \> cd /root                                  ...0/functions [7,0] 
cd: permission denied: /root
sartoo: \> su                                    (1) ...0/functions [7,0] 
root@mdk01 />                                               /root [19,22] 
                                                                    ^  ^
                                            Number of dirs in $PWD -|  |
                                              Number of files in $PWD -|

and here is the associated part of my ~/.zshrc

,-----[» ~/.zshrc «]--

No-one seems to use POSTEDIT for their setup so I thought I'd post mine to
give people some more ideas.  Here's what I've been using for some years
which only uses normal and bold text.  (Also note, generally the %s%u%m at
the start of the PROMPT is redundant so it could be ripped it out if you use
it).

PROMPT='%b%s%u%m:%B%3c%b%# %B'
RPROMPT="%b%?:${SHLVL}:%h:%l %B%D{%F %R}%b"
POSTEDIT=`print -P -n %b`
