ZSH Tab Complete Problem

nbyers · 2010-01-04 07:33:04

Hey guys, I am having a weird problem with my ZSH PS1. Everytime I add some color to my PS1, I get this tab complete problem:

And my PS1:

export PS1="[${fg_cyan}%n${fg_blue}@${fg_brown}%M${fg_blue}] %c${fg_lcyan} $ ${fg_lgray}${at_normal}"

Anyone else having a similiar problem?

I think the method you're using is giving zsh trouble determining the prompt length. Could you try:

export PS1="[%F{cyan}%n%F{blue}@%F{yellow}%M%F{blue}] %c%F{cyan} $ %F{lgray}%f "
