Reset Prompt after 1 second & Right Prompt | PowerShell | Page 1

rancid wadi Oct 29, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

Hi, so I have been using powershell for sometime now it's great although I am completely new to world of coding etc but what I want to say is that Um I want to reset my starship prompt after every one second like on zsh with the script

`TMOUT=1

Trapalrm(){
Zle reset-prompt
}`

So if anyone does know how to do this pls help 😭😭😭

olive magnet Oct 29, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

you want to ... reset your prompt?

#

like ... redraw it?

#

I think for that you need to mess with the readline

#

I mean, I'm reasonably sure that running something on a timer while you're sitting at the prompt can only be done by the readline -- because that's the only thing that's running when you're sitting at a prompt.

rancid wadi Oct 29, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

ok

#

but like on zsh

#

it works not sure about powershell

#

I mean basically my goal is to reset the prompt after 1 second cuz I set time there but the contents I am typing shouldnt be removed only the prompt

olive magnet Oct 29, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

That's because zsh does a lot more work for prompts than any other shell. Not only does it have a refresh, it also has right-aligned prompts, etc.

olive magnet Oct 29, 2023, 5:19 PM

#

oh, wait ...

#

I know how to do this

#

lol

#

There's a Powershell "OnIdle" event

olive magnet Oct 29, 2023, 5:35 PM

Imgur

#

PSReadLine stops emitting the OnIdle once you type something though, so the prompt refreshing will stop at that point.

olive magnet Oct 29, 2023, 6:05 PM

#

If you have a one-line prompt, it's enough to do:

Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle { Write-Host "`e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline }

#

Here are the docs on the function to redraw your prompt too. You’ll probably need to set [Console] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.powershell.psconsolereadline.invokeprompt?view=powershellsdk-1.1.0

#

Here is the reference to the workaround. https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf/issues/71#issuecomment-961148891

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 1:56 AM

#

That ... doesn't seem worth it.

near pebble Oct 30, 2023, 2:16 AM

#

olive magnet That ... doesn't seem worth it.

Right. Depending on how complex your prompt is, it could be a nice abstraction.

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 2:30 AM

#

I mean, I think it's there because you can do it even after you started typing...
but Write-Host "``e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline doesn't really need an abstraction.

#

I guess if your prompt is only sometimes multi-line ....

#

No, I don't know if they handle that or not

near pebble Oct 30, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

Oh I see what you mean. I do like the time ticking away.

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

Yeah, I think I'm going to add a switch to Powerline to do that automatically

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:32 AM

#

well sorry to dissapoint but mine is 2 line prompt

#

#

my prompt setup using starship

#

so if it has like 2 lines then does on idle work?

#

@olive magnet

#

sorry for the ping

#

i can ping right?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

if you have two lines you need "`e[2A"

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

whats that

#

just so you know i am a noob in powershell

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

`e[ n A

#

Is the escape sequence for "go up n lines"

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

ok

#

giving the code directly helps

#

🙂

#

sorry for the trouble

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

`e[0G # means go to column zero

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

ok

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

So this line:
Write-Host "``e[0G$(Write-PowerLinePrompt)" -NoNewline

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle { Write-Host "`e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline }

#

this write?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

If you have a two line prompt, then you make it:
Write-Host "``e[2A``e[0G$(Write-PowerLinePrompt)" -NoNewline

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

ohhh

#

thanks i can just paste it in profile.ps1 right?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

yeah, I mean ... check that it works by running it first 😉

#

The only thing is .... starship is slow

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

🙂

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

So I don't know if it can keep up with running every 300ms 😉

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

well i mean to my experience its great but lets see

#

🙂

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

🙂

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

well it dont work

#

#

so i dont get it

#

also right prompt isnt supported right?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

Yeah, there's no rightprompt in PSReadLine, only ZLE does that, as far as I know

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

ok

#

so it doesnt seem to work

#

or i might have made an error or let me just send my gist

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

If you press Ctrl+L over and over ... does that update the time?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

yeah

#

its just create new line right?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

oh, ...

#

sorry, I see you copied TWO backticks

#

it should be `e[

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

ohhhh

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

not ``e[

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

ok

#

lets see

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

Still though ... that's weird.

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

what about 2A``?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

Write-Host "`e[2A`e[0G$(Write-PowerLinePrompt)" -NoNewline

#

err, but not Write-PowerLinePrompt

#

You need to call starship

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

oh

#

so starship prompt?

#

debugging is hard

#

XD

#

wait how do i call

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Write-Host "`e[2A`e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

this line Invoke-Expression (&starship init powershell)

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

not init, you'd have to look at what starship puts in your prompt

#

I forget 😉

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

o

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

I tried starship and ohmyposh, but they are both slow (like, visibly delayed, if you just hold down Enter).

#

But you can probably just call prompt

#

because that's what PowerShell calls when it wants the prompt

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

so &starship

#

yeah it doesnt work

#

📎 message.txt

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

Is that your profile?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

yeah

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

what does starship init powershell output

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

the prompt

#

starship prompt

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

no. Deffinitely not.

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

well if i comment it starship dont work

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

Sure but it's doing ... https://github.com/starship/starship/blob/master/src/init/starship.ps1

GitHub

starship/src/init/starship.ps1 at master · starship/starship

☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell! - starship/starship

#

ALLLLL of that.

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

ok

#

....

#

i didnt know that

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

try calling:

starship prompt --path=$($cwd.Path) --logical-path=$($cwd.LogicalPath) --terminal-width=$($Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width) --jobs=$($jobs)

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

in () write?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

If you run that in your terminal, do you get an extra prompt output?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

#

error

#

well does my powershell have problem

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

use $pwd instead of $cwd

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

i am using preview powershell

#

#

error too

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

Oh good grief.

#

They have made a weird custom Get-Location

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

....

#

i guess i am troubling you very much

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

see this bit: https://github.com/starship/starship/blob/master/src/init/starship.ps1#L6-L24

#

so, if you just run: prompt does it draw?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

well i get a cross

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

so like, if you do:

prompt; start-sleep 1; prompt

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

#

it keeps printing new lines

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

cool

#

what if you do ...

#

$one = prompt; start-sleep 1; $two = prompt

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

ok, so it seems like the thing I gave you before should work ....

#

Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle { Write-Host "`e[2A`e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline }

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

yeah but it will keep creating new lines i mean like i want it to redraw it

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

is that making extra lines?

#

maybe their prompt outputs an extra line at the top, and you need 3A

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

nice

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

That's weird, is it going ... up?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

yes

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

lol

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

but on idle time updates

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

try `e[1A

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

surprising

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

oh, and ...

#

clean out the old ones with ...

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

both of the two lines update

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

Get-EventSubscriber | Unregister-Event

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

Are you using white on white on purpose? lol

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

lol

#

no

#

sorry notebad was on background

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

lol, I get it. I actually gave up on the cool looking terminal because of that 😉

#

I mean, gave up using transparency on it

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

ohh

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

ok, so is it still going upward?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

no its stuck there

#

but it updates both at the same time tough

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

right but if you ... run ls or something

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

So it's staying there, but doubling up the prompt?!?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

yeah

#

i was like surprised lol

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

Weird!

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

but both lines do update which is weirder

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

heh

#

Yeah.

#

Get-EventSubscriber | Unregister-Event

#

Run that

#

or just run the Get

#

I think you must have two versions set

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

get what

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

Get-EventSubscriber

#

See if there's more than one

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

no

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

And you have it set to 1A?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

yeah

#

no wait after unregistering

#

and reregistering it works

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

lol

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

weird

#

lol

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

whew

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

you are a life saver thanks

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

no problem

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

i guess debugging is fun

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

I'm totally going to build this into my prompt module 😉

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

sorry for the trouble caused

🙂

#

np

#

feel free to do so

#

also are there study materials for powershell?

#

cuz i really got interested now

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:30 AM

We need a better Measure-Command which can show averages - Measure-CommandEx.ps1

use that to measure how fast your prompt runs 😉

#

So, there's a bunch of resources linked in #resources

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:37 AM

but adding the redraw to Powershell should help others right? if someone is like me

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:38 AM

#

Yeah, I posted the idea on https://fosstodon.org/deck/@jaykul/111321760244301625

#

:-p

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:38 AM

#

ok

#

🙂

#

but how do i use messure command

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

you know ... more and more of these "embeds" are useless

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

olive magnet you know ... more and more of these "embeds" are useless

yeah true

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

(the link previews, I mean)

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

yeah cuz you just read the link

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

and like the fostodon one is like ... "here's what fosstodon is" ... instead of a preview of the actual post

#

you'd have to copy the script from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Jaykul/d7f2e7bb7ef1febaeae62953a4ee868b/raw/00f2975b1e6fa452088035db36eb25213d5b1491/Measure-CommandEx.ps1

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:41 AM

#

olive magnet and like the fostodon one is like ... "here's what fosstodon is" ... instead of ...

true i dont like previews i used to like it but now i dont after being introduced into world of coding

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:41 AM

#

and run that (either paste the script in your terminal, or in your profile, or save it ... and "dot source" it) to define the function

#

I really need to get those new branches of TerminalBlocks and PowerLine published

#

sigh

#

not enough hours in the day

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

lol

#

being mod is hard

#

#

2 prompts in 1 second

#

pretty fast i guess

#

but it malfucntioned

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:46 AM

nice

#

so i dont get whats wrong

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

You must have put the register-engineevent into your prompt?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

yeah

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

you need it in your profile.ps1 but not inside the prompt

#

I mean, it needs to run once, and only once

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

i did it once

#

its on .ps1

#

other than that none

#

so every time i refresh it creates new events

#

....

#

also messure command will i just copy all of them on profile.ps1 or anyother way

#

@olive magnet

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

why are you refreshing?

#

I mean, if you want to be able to refresh, you're going to need something like ....

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

nope when i ceate new powershell tabs

#

it refreshes right?

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

a new tab gets a new session

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

yes

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

That should not re-run the profile though

#

I mean, it runs it ... once ... in the new session

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

it does though

#

yeah on the new session

#

i mean i was tryig to set up the ex command

#

....

#

like i said i am a complete noob when it comes to coding

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

can you show where you added it in profile.ps1?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

Hmm. and is anything re-running your profile.ps1?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

nope

#

to fix the issue i unregister it

#

then register it by .$profile

#

well problem started when i tired to use the messure ex command

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:10 AM

#

but didn't you just measure prompt ?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:10 AM

#

📎 message.txt

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

olive magnet but didn't you just measure `prompt` ?

nope it didnt work

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

rancid wadi

i pasted it on profile.ps1

#

but then problems start

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

oh, and then sourced your profile?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

yeah

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:12 AM

So yeah, anyway, just do:
Get-EventSubscriber -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle -ErrorAction Ignore | Unregister-Event

#

Before you Register it

#

To make sure you're not doubling up

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:12 AM

#

well will i register now

#

nope same problem

#

it still got doubled

#

TT-TT

#

why

#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

#

well i removed the messure script but it still not fixed

Oooh, you said repeats, and I misunderstood

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

lol

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

It's redrawing the prompt, but one line lower every tick?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

yeah

#

but is yours ok

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

It seems like you need to try going back to 2A?

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

ok

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

Yeah, but I'm ... counting lines 😉

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

lol

#

now its ok

#

welp

#

so how do i use the messure script

#

cuz it created errors here

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

I don't think that's what caused errors 😉

#

But what I do, is save it in my PowerShell/Scripts folder (which is on my PATH)

#

and then I have to run . Measure-CommandEx.ps1 to load it when I want to use it

#

Or, you can comment out the function line and the last } line, and make it usable as a script file

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

oh

#

let me see

#

or you can just send a screen shot

#

cuz a picture is worth a 1000 words

#

😉

#

also i dont think mine will run very cuz

#

i am using an intel celeron cpu

#

with 4 gb ram

#

i am bascially no competition

#

-_("")/-

#

and my laptop overheats all the time

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:29 AM

📎 Measure-CommandEx.ps1

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:29 AM

so i use it when i am brewing coffe

lol

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

I'm sorry 😄

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:30 AM

np

#

i dont really mind

cuz its the truth

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:32 AM

hehe, this is what I did with the idea 😉
https://github.com/Jaykul/PowerLine/commit/abef22574d0f1b42039cd97629fb4cdccdee1ea2

GitHub

Add -AutoRefresh so you can refresh the prompt · Jaykul/PowerLine@a...

Let's you update the time or weather when PowerShell is idle

#

Anyway, the whole point of Measure-CommandEx isn't to compare against each other

#

It's to compare two different options on your own computer 😉

#

So e.g. to compare starship to ohmyposh to powerline 😉

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:34 AM

#

oh

#

i didnt mean like that

#

i just meant that i had no hope

#

but let me try

#

so i will create a file on my home

#

then run that file right?

#

also i am its_19818942118 on github

🙂

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

ok

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

I took off the seconds, because I just find them distracting, but I think I'm going to leave the refresh on there, because it means the prompt will relatively accurately show the time the command was run...

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:38 AM

#

how to create file in powershell again?

#

oh wait let me just use nvim

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

I was just using a double chevron like:

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

ok

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

(with the time on the previous line)

#

shrugs

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

also if file then sp1?

#

*ps1

olive magnet Oct 30, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

.ps1

#

yeah

#

you should be able to run .ps1 scripts

#

by their base name

#

(i.e. without typing the .ps1) if they are in your PATH

#

or by relative path, like ./Measure-CommandEx.ps1 or just ./Measure-CommandEx

#

But I'm going to head to bed.

Because it's nearing 2am, and I have to work in 8 hours :-p

rancid wadi Oct 30, 2023, 5:41 AM

ohhh

sorry to keep you up

but do sure text me

i will send you the results

🙂

#

or in here

#

good night

near pebble Oct 31, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

wow! y'all really went at it!

#

I was thinking invokeprompt would work better because it would redraw . I assumed calling prompt would just double it up

#

with oh-my-posh

Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle { Write-Host "`e[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline }

does work.

#

i have a one line prompt though.

#

That is super cool.

olive magnet Oct 31, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

near pebble I was thinking `invokeprompt` would work better because it would _redraw_ . I as...

Yeah, but all you have to do is go left to zero and maybe up one or two (in my case, three)

#

I built the feature into PowerLine -- now I just have to release it 😉

near pebble Oct 31, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

Yeah I am pretty commited to oh my posh even though it is slower.

#

For some reason I get an extra space when I come out of idle. And I have to backspace.

rancid wadi Oct 31, 2023, 6:23 AM

#

LoL

#

He stayed awake at 2pm just to help with this project

#

Well you can say it's a project right

rancid wadi Oct 31, 2023, 6:24 AM

#

olive magnet I built the feature into PowerLine -- now I just have to release it 😉

Cool

#

I will tryout power line once

#

Also it outputs the command running

#

So if I remove sourcefinder then it should work right?

#

Also another cool feature would be like redraw but right prompt

#

Cuz we although I didn't contribute at all but right prompt would be cool right and power line is fast so writing out a right prompt script helps improve it further

#

Although I regret it cuz I can't seem to find ways to use right prompt

#

With starship

rancid wadi Oct 31, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

near pebble For some reason I get an extra space when I come out of idle. And I have to back...

well might be cuz its redrawing well its not perfect but works cuz for example on my starship i set it so that if a command wont run has error etc it output a X instead of an arrow but it gets removed the moment it redraws

olive magnet Oct 31, 2023, 10:31 PM

#

rancid wadi Also another cool feature would be like redraw but right prompt

yeah, that is on my list too, but I need to ... change PSReadLine for that.

#

The old PowerLine release (the current version, actually) supports right prompt, but it does not do it well, so I'm taking that feature out in the release I'm working on now.

rancid wadi Nov 1, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

Yeah 👍

#

But to be honest though

#

I think power line and all that are very cluttered prompt

#

I would have used power line and all that

#

Well I first used ohmyposh but it was kind of not very workflow friendly and very distracting

#

But starship is customizable like keeping it simple but asthetic

#

😉

#

@olive magnet I have a question

#

Just can't get rid of the event id string

tidal latch Nov 2, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

I'll definitely try this working when I get a chance. I'm a starship user and would love to add current time in the second line of my prompt.

olive magnet Nov 2, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

PowerLine is waaay more customizable than starship or ohmyposh 😛

tidal latch Nov 2, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

PowerShell only?

tidal latch Nov 2, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

TIL they made powerline in go.

#

Ironically I make my starship look like powerline.

olive magnet Nov 2, 2023, 4:30 AM

#

my module is powerShell only, yes

#

Why would anyone want to use a different shell? 😉

#

But honestly -- prompts that run native in the language of the shell are faster

tidal latch Nov 2, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

I'll check it out when I get a chance

rancid wadi Nov 2, 2023, 4:55 AM

olive magnet But honestly -- prompts that run native in the language of the shell are _faster...

well its true but starship is blazing fast so far with my crappy hardware it so much better

i guess i should move to linux cuz windows is strugling with my crap hardware

i cant even have a decent zoom experience

nice do share your gist

rancid wadi Nov 2, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

olive magnet PowerLine is _waaay_ more customizable than starship or ohmyposh 😛

well it might be cuz um it uses shell for output while starship and others re premade

#

also i am sorry for replying so late cuz by the time you all text its currently 11 (24h) lol i usually wake up ate 10 but currenly sick

#

🙂

rancid wadi Nov 2, 2023, 7:34 AM

#

also the event id string is so annoying

#

#

it ruins my configs

#

also how do install powershell preview in linux using package manager like on ubuntu and debian based system

near pebble Nov 2, 2023, 3:31 PM

#

olive magnet But honestly -- prompts that run native in the language of the shell are _faster...

yeah especially when windows has much slower process creation than *nix

rancid wadi Nov 2, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Nix as in the nix os?

tidal latch Nov 2, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

olive magnet But honestly -- prompts that run native in the language of the shell are _faster...

This makes sense especially when you can keep track of stateful bits that don't need refreshing.

#

We need a prompt channel @olive magnet . I just wanna nerd out on escape codes 🤓🤣

olive magnet Nov 2, 2023, 11:36 PM

rancid wadi also the event id string is so annoying

near pebble Nov 3, 2023, 1:49 PM

rancid wadi Nix as in the nix os?

When I say *nix , the askerisk bascially stands in for like. So I mean all of Unix and Linux flavors and off shoots there abouts. It is a shorthand to talk about the fuller scope of those types of operating systems and the operating systems that flow from and will flow to.

rancid wadi Nov 4, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

Oh now I know what the Unix reddit nix config meant

#

Pretty new to the dev world

#

Well like started here 1 week trying best to learn

tidal latch Nov 4, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

@rancid wadi I see that Jaykul's original event register works in Pwsh but not in PS5 (at least for starship)

#

That's likely because it doesn't support `e as the escape code.

#

Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.OnIdle { Write-Host "$([char]27)[2A$([char]27)[0G$(prompt)" -NoNewline } works on Windows PowerShell.

olive magnet Nov 4, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

@tidal latch are you using the latest PSReadLine on PS5?

#

oh, yeah, `e

#

hah

tidal latch Nov 4, 2023, 6:44 PM

#

I'm probably not.

olive magnet Nov 4, 2023, 6:54 PM

#

No, you're right about the `e = $e = $([char]27)

#

That would stop it working in 5

tidal latch Nov 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

Also in starship there's the concept of a transient prompt. I'm probably going this route since I can tweak what previous prompts look like (and get accurate timestamps). https://starship.rs/advanced-config/#transientprompt-in-powershell

Starship: Cross-Shell Prompt

Starship is the minimal, blazing fast, and extremely customizable prompt for any shell! Shows the information you need, while staying sleek and minimal. Quick installation available for Bash, Fish, ZSH, Ion, Tcsh, Elvish, Nu, Xonsh, Cmd, and Powershell.

tidal latch Nov 4, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Also, TIL that starship supports prompt profiles. Which means you can have it print a "short profile"

#

takes note for future blog post

rancid wadi Nov 5, 2023, 5:14 AM

where will i find it though

#

right prompt done

tidal latch Nov 5, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

I'll grab my laptop in a bit and share the code

#

If you want the full prompt, you can set the transiant prompt to print starship prompt or just prompt

tidal latch Nov 5, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

Add something like this to your prompt if you wanna make a different profile. This one makes a profile called short.

[profiles]
short = """
[\uE0B6](fg:purple)[$directory](bg:purple)\
[\uE0B0](fg:purple bg:12)$time\
[\uE0B0](fg:12 bg:none) $character
"""

#

Then you can tell the transient prompt to call it with:

function Invoke-Starship-TransientFunction {
    &starship prompt --profile short
  }
Enable-TransientPrompt

tidal latch Nov 5, 2023, 3:34 PM

#

rancid wadi right prompt done

Would love to know how you added the right prompt.

olive magnet Nov 5, 2023, 8:07 PM

can be done on powershell too

So they can clear the rightprompt when they need the space

yeah

it doesnt affect much like its efficien in my opinion

#

no what i mean is that it clears the screen and draws the profile like when you open a new tab 🙂

olive magnet Nov 6, 2023, 3:47 AM

Yeah, except that in PowerShell, re-running your profile doesn't reset everything

Because we have a ton more "state" than just environment variables

I'm trying to decide how to get my PowerLine module to build with a dependency on a pre-release version of my TerminalBlocks.

rancid wadi Nov 6, 2023, 4:19 AM

habits i guess

#

by the way where did you find the icons and background icons of powershell etc

olive magnet Nov 6, 2023, 4:20 AM

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I've been collecting for decades 😉

rancid wadi Nov 6, 2023, 4:20 AM

TT_TT

for decades really?

#

but i cant seem to find images

#

did you keep them in terminal profile? or on seperate dir as photo?

#

oh found it 🙂

rancid wadi Nov 6, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

By the way I have been meaning to ask

#

Power line setup is difficult

#

Cuz I will use powershell with starship normally but on windows PowerShell with powerline

hybrid plaza Nov 7, 2023, 3:22 AM

#

rancid wadi well its true but starship is blazing fast so far with my crappy hardware it so ...

In Benchmarks, starship was far behind many zsh plugin managers leave alone pure zsh. I would guess it still needs more time for performance optimisation

olive magnet Nov 7, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

rancid wadi Cuz I will use powershell with starship normally but on windows PowerShell with...

why?

#

And why do you think it's difficult?

#

Honestly, I should have you try the 4.0 preview, because the whole focus there is to make it easier to set up

#

But I'm curious

olive magnet Nov 7, 2023, 3:32 AM

#

hybrid plaza In Benchmarks, starship was far behind many zsh plugin managers leave alone pure...

I'm not sure it can really be optimized that much

#

The problem with starship is the actual model

#

It's an executable that has to parse it's config and recreate everything from scratch each time it runs

rancid wadi Nov 7, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

True

#

But honestly with my hardware though I am satisfied

rancid wadi Nov 7, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

olive magnet why?

Well cuz um I dont really prefer windows PowerShell
And I like customization to be easy and not be too nerdy 🤓 um don't take it to heart

#

Its just in my opinion

#

🙂

hybrid plaza Nov 7, 2023, 4:07 AM

#

olive magnet I'm not sure it can really be optimized that much

Didn't knew that, i had only tried it once. Pretty satisfied with using zsh on Windows. Nothing like it

olive magnet Nov 7, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

rancid wadi Well cuz um I dont really prefer windows PowerShell And I like customization to ...

No, I meant, if you normally use starship, why would you not use starship with Windows PowerShell?

#

@rancid wadi what's your starship config look like?

rancid wadi Nov 7, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

Wait

#

📎 starship.toml

#

@olive magnet

#

lol i moved to fish now

#

from bash to zsh to fish

rancid wadi Nov 9, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

Also the right prompt setup on the input

#

The fill module works

#

But still want to um experiment and you guys are the pros when it comes to this so

rancid wadi Nov 11, 2023, 3:04 PM

#

hello

#

why dead TT_TT

#

also i have been to ask but i cant install powershell on kali linux

#

why though?

olive magnet Nov 11, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

Yes, why? On Kali you should be able to just sudo apt install powershell

rancid wadi Nov 12, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

it doesnt work though

#

for example the preview version

#

wait weird

#

i tried for like the past month but couldnt get it done

#

tried ubuntu big fail

#

but surprisingly today it works al of a sudden?

#

also like how do i execute it i dont have a graphical interface command only guy 🙂

rancid wadi Nov 12, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

by the way

#

@tidal latch um the short profile dont seem to work

#

i tried everything the same way but it says unknown

tidal latch Nov 12, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

Latest version of starship?

olive magnet Nov 12, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

you execute it by running pwsh

#

😛

rancid wadi Nov 13, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

tidal latch Latest version of starship?

yeah

rancid wadi Nov 13, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

olive magnet you execute it by running `pwsh`

its preview version though?

rancid wadi Nov 13, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

olive magnet 😛

ik that but um it seems to not recognize preview only this

tidal latch Nov 13, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

rancid wadi <@422260363937972226> um the short profile dont seem to work

Check if --profile flag exists. starship prompt --help You should be able to give it starship prompt --profile short. If you just run that it should print out the short prompt.

rancid wadi Nov 14, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

Will check

#

But is there any options necessary for profile short

#

Also I configured it on starship.toml

#

As ```toml
[profile]
short
......

rancid wadi Nov 15, 2023, 1:06 PM

#

@tidal latch

#

hello

#

so um i checked

#

and i removed profile short it seems to support it but it doesnt output thouh

#

doing it manually on the command line works

#

but not in profile

#

rancid wadi Nov 16, 2023, 3:28 PM

#

Well ❤️‍🩹 problem solved 😉

#

Did some brainstorming

#

But doesn't seem to work on powershell

#

LoL

rancid wadi Nov 18, 2023, 7:34 AM

Why is it dead???

olive magnet Nov 18, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

The chat

rancid wadi Nov 24, 2023, 3:31 PM

#

@tidal latch sorry for the ping but I tried the code like I said it works manually but if I set it starship on powershell profile it doesn't output saying error

#

What do I do?

#

Pls take responsibility 😉🙂

olive magnet Nov 24, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

if starship isn't working, you probably need to check the starship setup is in your profile right

tidal latch Nov 24, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

rancid wadi What do I do?

I need way more details to help. What's your current config? How are you calling it? What's the error?

rancid wadi Nov 27, 2023, 6:40 AM

#

I used the same call you gave

#

But I modified the co fig of short prompt works fine on fish

#

But idk

#

I think the problem is with the call cuz for fish it worked fine by using ```toml
Starship prompt --profile short

#

But using the samething on powershell doesn't work I mean only this line outputs error no functions like this 3xist

#

But doing it manuall works

rancid wadi Nov 27, 2023, 6:45 AM

You don't want this for your default. Import starship like normal. Then add the transient stuff after.

rancid wadi Nov 27, 2023, 2:44 PM

Now I am stuck but mainly it says that prompt profile option doesn't exist from the PS1

#

Oh

#

Ok

#

I will try it

#

Exams going on

#

Didn't have time

That's weird. Was this in a post? Any idea why you would need to convert it to a string?

If that had the proper escape sequences around the prompt it should be easy to find and replace it. I'm not sure that they do though 🤔

rancid wadi Dec 13, 2023, 2:58 PM

Idk

#

A gentle man in starship helped

#

Well I think problems with starship parser

#

Or maybe something unsupported on my end

I mean I was skeptical at first by command but worked anyways

Also starship didn't really have much of a guide on this

The problem right now is that PowerShell has really scarce support on arch Linux and arch based distros it would be great it was officially maintained cuz preview packages don't seem to update and I have been dying and feeling uncomfortable PowerShell maybe cross platform but it's way different there should be shell commands like on bash zsh etc Like unix compliant shell if possible cuz PowerShell is great but kinda limited cooming as a windows user it felt very smooth but Linux it's very rough and not really friendly
