Newbie zsh question: why does hitting ENTER product an "M"

Embarrassing that I can't find out the answer to this one... why does hitting the ENTER key cause my zsh to display the letter M at the prompt?

My configuration files:
Link to ~/.zshrc
Link to ~/.zsh

A wild guess: there are some issues with the hostname: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31765

Possibly related, is that Ctrl-M is a newline character. Something might be screwing up the state of your terminal.

Re: Newbie zsh question: why does hitting ENTER product an "M"

@karol - Thanks for the suggestion; no initscripts installed... I finally turned to the darkside smile
@ataraxia - Not sure... if I totally remove the scriptlets in ~/.zsh from getting sources I do not have this problem so I'm thinking that it is SOMETHING in one of them.  If I remove them all, then source ~/.zshrc I don't have the problem.  If I add them back one-by-one and resource ~/.zshrc, the problem seems to return somewhat sporadically.  Which confuses the piss out of me.  This is why I am appealing to higher powers smile

Please keep the suggestions coming.

Re: Newbie zsh question: why does hitting ENTER product an "M"

The issue may be related to your stty settings.  Try mapping carriage returns to newlines with the following command:

stty icrnl

If that works, add it to your .zshrc

You can check whether you have this mapping set already by running

stty -a

If you see the option, "-icrnl", then the mapping is currently disabled.  If it is not prefixed with "-" (i.e. "icrnl") then the option is currently enabled.  Also be mindful that you do not map newlines to carriage returns with the option "inlcr".

For more info:

man stty

I know the topic's old, but was unanswered.

I'm guessing graysky has long since solved this.
