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 = "-> "

Options

Name	Type	Description
background	string	color
foreground	string	color
template	string	a go text/template template extended with sprig utilizing the properties below - defaults to >
multiline_keepprompt	boolean	when true, a multi-line command is kept in a single buffer so the primary prompt stays in place until the whole command is submitted (Zsh only). Continuation lines are part of that buffer and get no secondary prompt, so template is not rendered for them. Defaults to false

Template (info)

Name	Type	Description
.Root	boolean	is the current user root/admin or not
.Shell	string	the current shell name
.UserName	string	the current user name
.HostName	string	the host name
