  • Is there anyone who knows about the issue of where the typing starts in the terminal?

    This was already asked here. There's links in that discussion that may help. I use hydro and I've not noticed any issues. You might have luck trying another prompt and seeing if it's still an issue. Or, if you don't use any of the features of the automatic script injection, you might find the fix is simply changing this setting: "terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled": false.
  • What do you think are the good features a bash prompt should have?

    My prompt basically mimics Fish’s Hydro prompt. The left is a single line that has a truncated $PWD, my git branch, a single symbol for whether my git project dir is ‘dirty’, and a prompt symbol ($ in Bash, % in Zsh, # if I’m root). I use a transient right prompt in Zsh too with command execution times over 10s. Python venvs are the only other thing, but that happens automatically when I activate one. After using this for years, everything else now feels like clutter.
  • From ZSH to Fish

    If you are interested in more in-depth profiling of your fish config, this command is helpful fish --profile-startup=$__fish_config_dir/fishprof.txt -c exit. You'll get detailed profile information in fishprof.txt. You will also probably find that starship is one of the slowest parts of your config. Hydro is a nice alternative if you like a full-featured prompt with speed in mind.
