Spaceship-prompt: vi-notification stuck in insert

[MarcelRobitaille]

Issue

All the vi mode keybindings work as expected. However, when I go into normal mode, my prompt stays in insert mode.

Screenshot

As you can see in the gif, I enter some words in insert mode. Then I hit esc to go into normal mode. I use b, e, dd, and p and the whole time the prompt says INSERT.

Environment

Please, read Vi-mode section in README.md. It says:

Note: For oh-my-zsh users with vi-mode plugin enabled: Add export RPS1="%{$reset_color%}" before source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh in .zshrc to disable default <<< NORMAL mode indicator in right prompt.

As I saw from your .zshrc, you didn't do this. Please let me know if it helps.

[MarcelRobitaille]

I feel stupid. Don't know how I missed that.

[MarcelRobitaille]

Never mind. I have added that and I still get the issue.

Hmm 🤔

I don't use vi-mode. @ghost @kwinczek could you help guys?

[MarcelRobitaille]

🤦‍

Plugins are separated by spaces not commas. The plugin line should read:

plugins=(git vi-mode)

@marco-silva0000 PLEASE add ``` above and below code blocks. The comments in your file are making you scream at people.

[marco-silva0000]

i had already, sorry :p

[MarcelRobitaille]

It seems you are not using the zsh vi-mode plugin. You can add it like this:

plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions vi-mode)

Having the same issue. I am not using oh-my-zsh or prezto or any framework for that matter

[zer09]

@ibnishak did you find a fix? I am also not using oh-my-zsh and presto.

[ibnishak]

@zer09 I copied a function from somebody for just the vi_mode, while rest of prompt is by spaceship.

In general, add the following before your autoload -U promptinit; promptinit

function zle-keymap-select() {
   zle reset-prompt zle -R
}
zle -N zle-keymap-select


autoload -U colors && colors
function vi_mode_prompt_info() { echo "%{$fg[red]%}${${KEYMAP/vicmd/[% NORMAL]%}/(main|viins)/[% INSERT]%}" }

RPS1='%t $(vi_mode_prompt_info)'
RPS2=$RPS1

Now, as I mentioned, this is a blind copy from dotfiles of somebody. I don't have enough command over zsh to debug this if something goes wrong. However it works for me. What is better, it works alongside spaceship right hand side prompt too. As in, on my RHS, time is shown by spaceship, while vi_mode is shown by the above function.

[whmountains]

I was able to work around this by adding the following line somewhere before promptinit:

spaceship_vi_mode_enable

I'm using zprezto and I have the same problem
