Using prefix prompt with newline config setting just prepends $'\n' about geometry HOT 17 CLOSED

I managed to configure the theme with the style I said before. I made a copy of the .zsh file and edited the line 67

Was:

PROMPT="$GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX %${#PROMPT_SYMBOL}{%(?.$GEOMETRY_PROMPT.$GEOMETRY_EXIT_VALUE)%} %F{$GEOMETRY_COLOR_DIR}%3~%f "

And I wrote:

NEWLINE=$'\n'

PROMPT="$GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX %F{$GEOMETRY_COLOR_DIR}%3~%f ${NEWLINE} %${#PROMPT_SYMBOL}{%(?.$GEOMETRY_PROMPT.$GEOMETRY_EXIT_VALUE)%} "

Result:

From my side configuring PROMPT_PREFIX with $'\n' seems to work as expected. Be sure you are not quoting it this way: "$'\n'".

We are also working on a suffix configuration that would enable @SamuelM333 setup. We've also plans to make PROMPT more flexible on it's configuration. See #51.

@ducklin5 if you pull the latest mnml branch (haven't cut a release yet), I just added geometry_newline. You can get a second line prompt with GEOMETRY_PROMPT+=(geometry_newline), thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Do you mean that you configure GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX like so:

GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX=$'\n'

and it doesn't show up?

from geometry.

I mean that I configured it like that and it shows up like in the screenshot. I thought it was supposed to render the prompt on a new line, separate from the path/git information. Instead it displays the quoted code

from geometry.

I'm having the same problem. I would like to have the path, python env, git info, etc on one line and the geometry symbol with the prompt on the next one.

from geometry.

Awesome! How about if I wanted to keep the right side on the same line as the path?

from geometry.

I'm wondering the same 😅 I will experiment a little more and post my results

from geometry.

@alittlebitweird Wondering you show us how you configured geometry in order to produce rendering that way.

@desyncr this is what I did: GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX=$'\n'

from geometry.

Applied the same configuration both interactively and in .zshrc and both ways worked correctly.

Does the issue still reproduces? Can you share your dotfiles?

from geometry.

I ended up doing what @SamuelM333 did and it's working out great for me. Beautiful theme dude!

from geometry.

Cool. @alittlebitweird Closing this for now as it seems it was most likely a configuration issue.

from geometry.

I'm getting the same problem, if I don't quote it in "$'\n'", it doesn't put a newline, but if I do, it prints like this

▲ ~$'
' 

from geometry.

Is this not possible anymore? setting GEOMETRY_PROMPT_PREFIX=$'\n' in .zshrc does nothing

from geometry.

The closest I could get with current geometry is
newline() { echo '\n ' }; GEOMETRY_PROMPT+=(newline)
This is not ideal because of the extra space needed for some reason

from geometry.

Actually figured it out:

newline() { echo '\n\r' }
GEOMETRY_PROMPT+=(newline)
