I dig around the code. And there was such comment before the judgement if to show “> "
/* Ignore prompts wider than the screen - only print a two character placeholder... It would be cool to truncate the prompt, but because it can contain escape sequences, this is harder than you'd think. */ I’d like an example how the “escape sequence” breaks the wrapping, and also I can check how bash/zsh handle it. I tried to remove the “> “ code and it seems working fine. I say, if the user has really crazy stuff to reach the right end of the prompt, he should take care of the crappy situation. I believe for most users, that’s not the case. (Or am I being naive?) At least, I’m thankful if (at least) there can be a variable to control it. no replacement to “> “ should be the default. -- 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.
