Secondary prompt

info

This feature only works in powershell, zsh and bash for the time being.

The secondary prompt is displayed when a command text spans multiple lines. The default is > .

You can use go text/template templates extended with sprig to enrich the text. Environment variables are available, just like the console_title_template functionality.

Configuration

You need to extend or create a custom theme with your secondary prompt override. For example:

json

{
  "secondary_prompt": {
    "background": "transparent",
    "foreground": "#ffffff",
    "template": "-> "
  }
}

yaml

secondary_prompt:
  background: transparent
  foreground: "#ffffff"
  template: "-> "

toml

[secondary_prompt]
background = "transparent"
foreground = "#ffffff"
template = "-> "
