This is a continuation of my previous questions. I currently have the following in ~/.zsh.d/functions.sh
function zle-line-init zle-keymap-select {
psvar[1]="${${KEYMAP/vicmd/}/(main|viins)/-- INSERT --}"
zle reset-prompt
}
precmd() {
psvar[2]=()
vcs_info
[[ -n $vcs_info_msg_0_ ]] && psvar[2]="$vcs_info_msg_0_"
}
and relevant sections from my ~/.zshrc
if [ -d ~/.zsh.d ]; then
for i in ~/.zsh.d/*; do
if [ -r $i ]; then
source $i
fi
done
unset i
fi
zle -N zle-line-init
zle -N zle-keymap-select
autoload -Uz colors && colors
autoload -Uz vcs_info

# 063 is a blue
# vimode implentation
psvar[1]='-- INSERT --'
local down=$terminfo[cud1]$terminfo[cuu1]$terminfo[sc]$terminfo[cud1]
local mode="%F{063}%1 %(1v.%1v.)%f"
local up=$terminfo[rc]
local vimode=$down$mode$up
# current working directory as blue
local cwd='%F{063}%1~%f'
# display git branch if git repo
local git='%(2v.%F{099}%2v%f.)'
# if root then red # else blue %
local prompt_char='%(!.%F{red}%#%f.%F{063}%#%f)'
PS1=$'%{$vimode%} $cwd $git $prompt_char '
RPS1='%m'
preexec () { print -rn -- $terminfo[el]; }
This works right, except that it doesn't display -- INSERT -- when the shell is first started, after that it works as expected.
Other improvement suggestions welcome.
Update I decided to work around the issue, though I still don't know why it works. For now I've set psvar[1] to -- INSERT -- out of the box, since I know it will be insert on start. This doesn't feel like a proper resolution though.
