Good to hear. Sure, but little things are often configurable ;)

Yes, that is intended: if $? is != 0 then it will be displayed,
and ^C creates SIGINT which is signal 2 on your system, and $?
is set to the signal number plus 128.
You could create a trap to avoid that:
trap : INT
Or you can remove the $?-printing code from PS1 altogether, that’s this
line:
(( e )) && REPLY+="$e|"

That’s unfortunately not possible (it was hard enough to get tab
completion with tilde and “funny chars” in paths working as is).

Thanks! Same here, by the way, I had a good base from which to start
which was lean and working mostly well, and improved from there.

You’re welcome!
