+* **context** - Your username and host.
+* **dir** - Your current working directory.
+* **vcs** - Information about this `git` or `hg` repository (if you are in one).

+* **status** - The return code of the previous command, and status of background jobs.
+* **history** - The command number for the current line.

     POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status history time)
 
+#### Conditional 'context'
+
+The `context` segment (user@host string) is conditional. This lets you enable it, but only display
+it if you are not your normal user or on a remote host (basically, only print it
+when it likely you need it).
+
+To use this feature, make sure the `context` segment is enabled in your prompt
+elements (it is by default), and define a `DEFAULT_USER` in your `~/.zshrc`:
+
+    export DEFAULT_USER=<your username>
