Hi again, Here is an example. I entered a very deep path, and when the width exceeds $COLUMNS, it shows “>”. However, when I manually run fish_prompt. It shows all, I guess there is no wrapping or truncate issue for that, then no issue for fish_prompt?
I know it’s a bit ugly, but better than a single “>”. the screenshot: http://cl.ly/Pl5D (sorry but the text may be wrapped by email client) -- BR, Tony Wang On June 17, 2013 at 15:54:30, Tony Wang (www...@gmail.com) wrote: Hi, That’s definitely a way to solve the problem, thanks. What I have a question is that, I think the wrapping is the terminal emulator’s work. Like when pwd outputs a wider-than-window-width result, it’s cut off the border, with a newline. Couldn’t the prompt behavior the same way? I may get into some source code to see how it works. -- BR, Tony Wang On June 17, 2013 at 15:18:23, ridiculous_fish (corydo...@ridiculousfish.com) wrote: Hi Tony, fish does not attempt to wrap or truncate long prompts. Prompts often contain ANSI escape sequences, which make them difficult to wrap or truncate. What you can do is inspect the value of $COLUMNS in your fish_prompt, and avoid outputting one that is too long. If you have any other ideas or suggestions for what fish should do here, I'd love to hear them.
