[Solved] zsh and urxvt repeating command

I am using zsh and urxvt and whenever I type a command, the command is repeated like so:

╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ test
test%

It's not annoying for the example above, but for commands with output, it doesn't put a new line after the command, so for example, a command like ls:

╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ ls
lsDesktop  dotfiles  Downloads  pictures  projects  revision  scripts

I cannot work out what is causing it, let alone how to stop it.

One thing I did notice, it will print the command once for every time I haved sourced my zshrc in the current terminal's lifetime. It's a bit easier to show than explain:

╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ echo "fresh"
echofresh
╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ source .zshrc
source%
╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ echo "once"
echoechoonce
╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ source .zshrc
sourcesource%
╭─james@pc  ~  
╰─$ echo "twice"
echoechoechotwice

Here's my zshrc, if you need any other information please ask.

Re: [Solved] zsh and urxvt repeating command

And with a different zshrc do you see this happen?  If not, just start subdividing your zshrc until you figure out which line causes the problem.

Your prompt isn't set there, where do you set the prompt?

It's set in the zsh theme file, I tried several different themes and it happens with any.

Ok.  What about the rest of my post?

Re: [Solved] zsh and urxvt repeating command

I've seen this behavior when locale and/or terminfo settings are incorrect. A couple ideas:

- See if this persists when using Bash. If it does, it's probably the terminfo settings.
- See if this persists when not using Oh My Zsh, or maybe just move your ~/.zshrc to ~/.zshrc_bak. If not using Oh My Zsh clears things up, then OMZ might be setting some environment variable that's causing the problem.

In each case, check the output of "locale" and "echo $TERM:"

 » locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
                                                                               
 » echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode-256color

Re: [Solved] zsh and urxvt repeating command

Oh-my-zsh is an excruciating ratmangle in terms of both concept and execution; installing it is a recipe for exactly this sort of brokeness and bewilderment.

Sorry got side tracked.

Everything works fine when I use bash.

I disabled the oh-my-zsh hook and it stopped so it definitely is oh-my-zsh.

I was only using it for the themes so I'm happy to not use it. For completeness here's my $TERM and locale output.

pc% echo $TERM
screen-256color
pc% locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Re: [Solved] zsh and urxvt repeating command

Sorry for necroposting, recently I encountered same problem. I've solved it without disabled oh-my-zsh plugin. Setting URxvt*termName to 'rxvt' helped
