## Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuration wizard
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `p10k configure` to access the builtin configuration wizard right from your terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Configuration Wizard](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/configuration-wizard.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
All styles except [Pure](#pure-compatibility) are functionally equivalent. They display the same
|
|
|
information and differ only in presentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration wizard creates `~/.p10k.zsh` based on your preferences. Additional prompt
|
|
|
customization can be done by editing this file. It has plenty of comments to help you navigate
|
|
|
through configuration options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: Install [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) before
|
|
|
running `p10k configure` to unlock all prompt styles.

### Uncompromising performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you hit *ENTER*, the next prompt appears instantly. With Powerlevel10k there is no prompt lag.
|
|
|
If you install Cygwin on Raspberry Pi, `cd` into a Linux Git repository and activate enough prompt
|
|
|
segments to fill four prompt lines on both sides of the screen... wait, that's just crazy and no
|
|
|
one ever does that. Probably impossible, too. The point is, Powerlevel10k prompt is always fast, no
|
|
|
matter what you do!

Note how the effect of every command is instantly reflected by the very next prompt.

|
Other Zsh themes capable of displaying the same information either produce prompt lag or print
|
|
|
prompt that doesn't reflect the current state of the system and then refresh it later. With
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k you get fast prompt *and* up-to-date information.

### Powerlevel9k compatibility

|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k understands all [Powerlevel9k](https://github.com/Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k)
|
|
|
configuration parameters.

|
|
|
|
|
|
[Migration](#installation) from Powerlevel9k to Powerlevel10k is a straightforward process. All
|
|
|
your `POWERLEVEL9K` configuration parameters will still work. Prompt will look the same as before
|
|
|
([almost](

|
|

|
### Pure compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k can produce the same prompt as [Pure](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure). Type
|
|
|
`p10k configure` and select *Pure* style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Pure Style](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/pure-style.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can still use Powerlevel10k features such as [transient prompt](#transient-prompt) or
|
|
|
[instant prompt](#instant-prompt) when sporting Pure style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To customize prompt, edit `~/.p10k.zsh`. Powerlevel10k doesn't recognize Pure configuration
|
|
|
parameters, so you'll need to use `POWERLEVEL9K_COMMAND_EXECUTION_TIME_THRESHOLD=3` instead of
|
|
|
`PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=3`, etc. All relevant parameters are in `~/.p10k.zsh`. This file has
|
|
|
plenty of comments to help you navigate through it.

|
|
|
(for example, [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) or [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)), you
|
|
|
may have noticed that it takes some time for Zsh to start.

|
|
|
Powerlevel10k can remove Zsh startup lag **even if it's not caused by a theme**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Instant Prompt](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/instant-prompt.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
This feature is called *Instant Prompt*. You need to explicitly enable it through `p10k configure`
|
|
|
or [manually](#how-do-i-enable-instant-prompt). It does what it says on the tin -- prints prompt
|
|
|
instantly upon Zsh startup allowing you to start typing while plugins are still loading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other themes *increase* Zsh startup lag -- some by a lot, others by a just a little. Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
*removes* it outright.

### Show on command
|
|
|
|
|
|
The behavior of some commands depends on global environment. For example, `kubectl run ...` runs an
|
|
|
image on the cluster defined by the current kubernetes context. If you frequently change context
|
|
|
between "prod" and "testing", you might want to display the current context in Zsh prompt. If you do
|
|
|
likewise for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud credentials, prompt will get pretty crowded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enter *Show On Command*. This feature makes prompt segments appear only when they are relevant to
|
|
|
the command you are currently typing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Show On Command](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/show-on-command.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configs created by `p10k configure` enable show on command for several prompt segments by default.
|
|
|
Here's the relevant parameter for kubernetes context:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
# Show prompt segment "kubecontext" only when the command you are typing
|
|
|
# invokes kubectl, helm, kubens, kubectx, oc, istioctl or kogito.
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_KUBECONTEXT_SHOW_ON_COMMAND='kubectl|helm|kubens|kubectx|oc|istioctl|kogito'
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
To customize when different prompt segments are shown, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for
|
|
|
`SHOW_ON_COMMAND` and either remove these parameters to display affected segments unconditionally,
|
|
|
or change their values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Transient prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
When *Transient Prompt* is enabled through `p10k configure`, Powerlevel10k will trim down every
|
|
|
prompt when accepting a command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Transient Prompt](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/transient-prompt.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transient prompt makes it much easier to copy-paste series of commands from the terminal scrollback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: If you enable transient prompt, take advantage of two-line prompt. You'll get the benefit of
|
|
|
extra space for typing commands without the usual drawback of reduced scrollback density. Sparse
|
|
|
prompt (with an empty line before prompt) also works great in combination with transient prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Current directory that just works
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current working directory is perhaps the most important prompt segment. Powerlevel10k goes to
|
|
|
great length to highlight its important parts and to truncate it with the least loss of information
|
|
|
when horizontal space gets scarce.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Directory Truncation](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/directory-truncation.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the full directory doesn't fit, the leftmost segment gets truncated to its shortest unique
|
|
|
prefix. In the screencast, `~/work` becomes `~/wo`. It couldn't be truncated to `~/w` because it
|
|
|
would be ambiguous (there was `~/wireguard` when the session was recorded). The next segment --
|
|
|
`projects` -- turns into `p` as there was nothing else that started with `p` in `~/work/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directory segments are shown in one of three colors:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Truncated segments are bleak.
|
|
|
- Important segments are bright and never truncated. These include the first and the last segment,
|
|
|
roots of Git repositories, etc.
|
|
|
- Regular segments (not truncated but can be) use in-between color.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: If you copy-paste a truncated directory and hit *TAB*, it'll complete to the original.
|
|
|

### Extremely customizable
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k can be configured to look like any other Zsh theme out there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Other Theme Emulation](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/other-theme-emulation.gif)

|
|
|
[Pure](#pure-compatibility), [Powerlevel9k](#powerlevel9k-compatibility) and [robbyrussell](
|
|
|
#how-to-make-powerlevel10k-look-like-robbyrussell-oh-my-zsh-theme) emulations are built-in.
|
|
|
To emulate the appearance of other themes, you'll need to write a suitable configuration file. The
|
|
|
best way to go about it is to run `p10k configure`, select the style that is the closest to your
|
|
|
goal and then edit `~/.p10k.zsh`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The full range of Powerlevel10k appearance spans from spartan:

|

|
|
|
### Batteries included
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k comes with dozens of built-in high quality segments. When you run `p10k configure`
|
|
|
and choose any style except [Pure](#pure-compatibility), many of these segments get enabled by
|
|
|
default while others be manually enabled by opening `~/.p10k.zsh` and uncommenting them. You can
|
|
|
enable as many segments as you like. It won't slow down your prompt or Zsh startup.

### Extensible
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no prompt segment that does what you need, implement your own. Powerlevel10k provides
|
|
|
public API for defining segments that are as fast and as flexible as built-in ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerlevel10k Custom Segment](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/custom-segment.gif)
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux you can fetch current CPU temperature by reading `/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp`.
|
|
|
The screencast shows how to define a prompt segment to display this value. Once the segment is
|
|
|
defined, you can use it like any other segment. All standard customization parameters will work for
|
|
|
it out of the box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `p10k help segment` for reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: Prefix names of your own segments with `my_` to avoid clashes with future versions of
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Manual
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
### For new users
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the first run, Powerlevel10k [configuration wizard](#configuration-wizard) will ask you a few
|
|
|
questions and configure your prompt. If it doesn't trigger automatically, type `p10k configure`.
|
|
|
Configuration wizard creates `~/.p10k.zsh` based on your preferences. Additional prompt
|
|
|
customization can be done by editing this file. It has plenty of comments to help you navigate
|
|
|
through configuration options.

If you've been using Powerlevel9k before, **do not remove the configuration options**. Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
will pick them up and provide you with the same prompt UI you are used to. See

## Fonts
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k doesn't require custom fonts but can take advantage of them if they are available.
|
|
|
It works well with [Nerd Fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts),
|
|
|
[Source Code Pro](https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro),
|
|
|
[Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/), [Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/fonts), and even
|
|
|
the default system fonts. The full choice of style options is available only when using
|
|
|
[Nerd Fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts).

### <a name='recommended-meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k'></a>Meslo Nerd Font patched for Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gorgeous monospace font designed by Jim Lyles for Bitstream, customized by the same for Apple,
|
|
|
further customized by André Berg, and finally patched by yours truly with customized scripts
|
|
|
originally developed by Ryan L McIntyre of Nerd Fonts. Contains all glyphs and symbols that
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k may need. Battle-tested in dozens of different terminals on all major operating
|
|
|
systems.

|
|
|
|
#### Automatic font installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using iTerm2 or Termux, `p10k configure` can install the recommended font for you.
|
|
|
Simply answer `Yes` when asked whether to install *Meslo Nerd Font*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a different terminal, proceed with manual font installation. 👇
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Manual font installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download these four ttf files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Regular.ttf)
|
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold.ttf)
|
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Italic.ttf)
|
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Bold Italic.ttf](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold%20Italic.ttf)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Double-click on each file and click "Install". This will make `MesloLGS NF` font available to all
|
|
|
applications on your system. Configure your terminal to use this font:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **iTerm2**: Open *iTerm2 → Preferences → Profiles → Text* and set *Font* to `MesloLGS NF`.
|
|
|
Alternatively, type `p10k configure` and answer `Yes` when asked whether to install
|
|
|
*Meslo Nerd Font*.
|
|
|
- **Apple Terminal** Open *Terminal → Preferences → Profiles → Text*, click *Change* under *Font*
|
|
|
and select `MesloLGS NF` family.
|
|
|
- **Hyper**: Open *Hyper → Edit → Preferences* and change the value of `fontFamily` under
|
|
|
`module.exports.config` to `MesloLGS NF`.
|
|
|
- **Visual Studio Code**: Open *File → Preferences → Settings*, enter
|
|
|
`terminal.integrated.fontFamily` in the search box and set the value to `MesloLGS NF`.
|
|
|
- **GNOME Terminal** (the default Ubuntu terminal): Open *Terminal → Preferences* and click on the
|
|
|
selected profile under *Profiles*. Check *Custom font* under *Text Appearance* and select
|
|
|
`MesloLGS NF Regular`.
|
|
|
- **Konsole**: Open *Settings → Edit Current Profile → Appearance*, click *Select Font* and select
|
|
|
`MesloLGS NF Regular`.
|
|
|
- **Tilix**: Open *Tilix → Preferences* and click on the selected profile under *Profiles*. Check
|
|
|
*Custom font* under *Text Appearance* and select `MesloLGS NF Regular`.
|
|
|
- **Windows Console Host** (the old thing): Click the icon in the top left corner, then
|
|
|
*Properties → Font* and set *Font* to `MesloLGS NF`.
|
|
|
- **Windows Terminal** (the new thing): Open *Settings* (`Ctrl+,`), search for `fontFace` and set
|
|
|
value to `MesloLGS NF` for every profile.
|
|
|
- **Termux**: Type `p10k configure` and answer `Yes` when asked whether to install
|
|
|
*Meslo Nerd Font*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** Run `p10k configure` after changing terminal font. The old `~/.p10k.zsh` may work
|
|
|
incorrectly with the new font.

## Try it in Docker
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try Powerlevel10k in Docker. You can safely make any changes to the file system while trying out
|
|
|
the theme. Once you exit Zsh, the image is deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
docker run -e TERM -e COLORTERM -it --rm alpine sh -uec '
|
|
|
apk update
|
|
|
apk add git zsh nano vim
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
|
|
|
echo "source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme" >>~/.zshrc
|
|
|
cd ~/powerlevel10k
|
|
|
exec zsh'
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: Install [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) before
|
|
|
running the Docker command to get access to all prompt styles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Tip*: Run `p10k configure` while in Docker to try a different prompt style.

### Which aspects of shell and terminal does Powerlevel10k affect?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k defines prompt and nothing else. It sets [prompt-related options](
|
|
|
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html#Prompting), and parameters `PS1` and `RPS1`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Prompt Highlight](

|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/prompt-highlight.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything within the highlighted areas on the screenshot is produced by Powerlevel10k.
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k has no control over the terminal content or color outside these areas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k does not affect:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Terminal window title.
|
|
|
- Colors used by `ls`.
|
|
|
- Content and style of command completions.
|
|
|
- Command line colors (syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, etc.).
|
|
|
- Prompt parameters other than `PS1` and `RPS1`.
|
|
|
- Zsh options other than those [related to prompt](
|
|
|
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html#Prompting).

### I'm using Powerlevel9k with Oh My Zsh. How do I migrate?
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run this command:
|
|
|
```zsh

|
|
|
# Replace ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k" with ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k".
|
|
|
sed 's/powerlevel9k/powerlevel10k/g' -i ~/.zshrc
|
|
|
# Restart Zsh.

### Is it really fast?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes.

Benchmark results obtained with
|
|
|
[zsh-prompt-benchmark](https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-prompt-benchmark) on an Intel i9-7900X
|
|
|
running Ubuntu 18.04 with the config from the demo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Theme | Prompt Latency |
|
|
|
|---------------------|---------------:|
|
|
|
| powerlevel9k/master | 1046 ms |
|
|
|
| powerlevel9k/next | 1005 ms |
|
|
|
| **powerlevel10k** | **8.7 ms** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k is over 100 times faster than Powerlevel9k in this benchmark.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fairness, Powerlevel9k has acceptable latency when given a spartan configuration. If all you need
|
|
|
is the current directory without truncation or shortening, Powerlevel9k can render it for you in
|
|
|
17 ms. Powerlevel10k can do the same 30 times faster but it won't matter in practice because 17 ms
|
|
|
is fast enough (the threshold where latency becomes noticeable is around 50 ms). You have to be
|
|
|
careful with Powerlevel9k configuration as it's all too easy to make prompt frustratingly slow.
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k, on the other hand, doesn't require trading latency for utility -- it's virtually
|
|
|
instant with any configuration. It stays well below the 50 ms mark, leaving most of the latency
|
|
|
budget for other plugins you might install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How do I enable instant prompt?
|
|
|
|
|
|
See [instant prompt](#instant-prompt) to learn about instant prompt. This section explains how you
|
|
|
can enable it and lists caveats that you should be aware of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instant prompt can be enabled either through `p10k configure` or by manually adding the following
|
|
|
code snippet at the top of `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
|
|
|
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
|
|
|
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
|
|
|
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
|
|
|
source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's important that you copy the lines verbatim. Don't replace `source` with something else, don't
|
|
|
call `zcompile`, don't redirect output, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When instant prompt is enabled, for the duration of Zsh initialization standard input is redirected
|
|
|
to `/dev/null` and standard output with standard error are redirected to a temporary file. Once Zsh
|
|
|
is fully initialized, standard file descriptors are restored and the content of the temporary file
|
|
|
is printed out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using instant prompt, you should carefully check any output that appears on Zsh startup as it
|
|
|
may indicate that initialization has been altered, or perhaps even broken, by instant prompt.
|
|
|
Initialization code that may require console input, such as asking for a keyring password or for a
|
|
|
*[y/n]* confirmation, must be moved above the instant prompt preamble in `~/.zshrc`. Initialization
|
|
|
code that merely prints to console but never reads from it will work correctly with instant prompt,
|
|
|
although output that normally has colors may appear uncolored. You can either leave it be, suppress
|
|
|
the output, or move it above the instant prompt preamble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of `~/.zshrc` that breaks when instant prompt is enabled:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
|
|
|
source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
|
|
keychain id_rsa --agents ssh # asks for password
|
|
|
chatty-script # spams to stdout even when everything is fine
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed version:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
keychain id_rsa --agents ssh # moved before instant prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
# OK to perform console I/O before this point.
|
|
|
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
|
|
|
source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
# From this point on, until zsh is fully initialized, console input won't work and
|
|
|
# console output may appear uncolored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
chatty-script >/dev/null # spam output suppressed
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If `POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT` is unset or set to `verbose`, Powerlevel10k will print a warning
|
|
|
when it detects console output during initialization to bring attention to potential issues. You can
|
|
|
silence this warning (without suppressing console output) with `POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=quiet`.
|
|
|
This is recommended if some initialization code in `~/.zshrc` prints to console and it's infeasible
|
|
|
to move it above the instant prompt preamble or to suppress its output. You can completely disable
|
|
|
instant prompt with `POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=off`. Do this if instant prompt breaks Zsh
|
|
|
initialization and you don't know how to fix it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note*: Instant prompt requires Zsh >= 5.4. It's OK to enable it even when using an older version of
|
|
|
Zsh but it won't do anything.

### What do different symbols in Git status mean?
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using Lean, Classic or Rainbow style, Git status may look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
feature:master ⇣42⇡42 ⇠42⇢42 *42 merge ~42 +42 !42 ?42
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Symbol | Meaning | Source |
|
|
|
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
| `feature` | current branch; replaced with `#tag` or `@commit` if not on a branch | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `master` | remote tracking branch; only shown if different from local branch | `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}` |
|
|
|
| `⇣42` | this many commits behind the remote | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `⇡42` | this many commits ahead of the remote | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `⇠42` | this many commits behind the push remote | `git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...@{push}` |
|
|
|
| `⇢42` | this many commits ahead of the push remote | `git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...@{push}` |
|
|
|
| `*42` | this many stashes | `git stash list` |
|
|
|
| `merge` | repository state | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `~42` | this many merge conflicts | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `+42` | this many staged changes | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `!42` | this many unstaged changes | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `?42` | this many untracked files | `git status --ignore-submodules=dirty` |
|
|
|
| `─` | the number of staged, unstaged or untracked files is unknown | `echo $POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_INDEX_SIZE_DIRTY` or `git config --get bash.showDirtyState` |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
### How do I change the format of Git status?
|
|
|
|
|
|
To change the format of Git status, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for `my_git_formatter` and edit its
|
|
|
source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Related*: [What do different symbols in Git status mean?](
|
|
|
#what-do-different-symbols-in-git-status-mean)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why is Git status from `$HOME/.git` not displayed in prompt?
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using Lean, Classic or Rainbow style, `~/.p10k.zsh` contains the following parameter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
# Don't show Git status in prompt for repositories whose workdir matches this pattern.
|
|
|
# For example, if set to '~', the Git repository at $HOME/.git will be ignored.
|
|
|
# Multiple patterns can be combined with '|': '~|~/some/dir'.
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_DISABLED_WORKDIR_PATTERN='~'
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
To see Git status for `$HOME/.git` in prompt, open `~/.p10k.zsh` and remove
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_DISABLED_WORKDIR_PATTERN`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why does Git status sometimes appear grey and then gets colored after a short period of time?
|
|
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: When Git status in prompt is greyed out, it means Powerlevel10k is currently computing
|
|
|
up-to-date Git status in the background. Prompt will get automatically refreshed when this
|
|
|
computation completes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When your current directory is withing a Git repository, Powerlevel10k computes up-to-date Git
|
|
|
status after every command. If the repository is large, or the machine is slow, this computation
|
|
|
can take quite a bit of time. If it takes longer than 20 milliseconds (configurable via
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_SYNC_LATENCY_SECONDS`), Powerlevel10k displays the last known Git status in
|
|
|
grey and continues to compute up-to-date Git status in the background. When the computation
|
|
|
completes, Powerlevel10k refreshes prompt with new information, this time with colored Git status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How do I add username and/or hostname to prompt?
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using Lean, Classic or Rainbow style, prompt shows `username@hostname` when you are logged in
|
|
|
as root or via SSH. There is little value in showing `username` or `hostname` when you are logged in
|
|
|
to your local machine as a normal user. So the absence of `username@hostname` in your prompt is an
|
|
|
indication that you are working locally and that you aren't root. You can change it, however.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open `~/.p10k.zsh`. Close to the top you can see the most important parameters that define which
|
|
|
segments are shown in your prompt. All generally useful prompt segments are listed in there. Some of
|
|
|
them are enabled, others are commented out. One of them is of interest to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
context # user@hostname
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Search for `context` to find the section in the config that lists parameters specific to this prompt
|
|
|
segment. You should see the following lines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
# Don't show context unless running with privileges or in SSH.
|
|
|
# Tip: Remove the next line to always show context.
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_{DEFAULT,SUDO}_{CONTENT,VISUAL_IDENTIFIER}_EXPANSION=
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you follow the tip and remove (or comment out) the last line, you'll always see
|
|
|
`username@hostname` in prompt. You can change the format to just `username`, or change the color, by
|
|
|
adjusting the values of parameters nearby. There are plenty of comments to help you navigate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also move `context` to a different position in `POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS` or even
|
|
|
to `POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why some prompt segments appear and disappear as I'm typing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prompt segments can be configured to be shown only when the current command you are typing invokes
|
|
|
a relevant tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
# Show prompt segment "kubecontext" only when the command you are typing
|
|
|
# invokes kubectl, helm, kubens, kubectx, oc, istioctl or kogito.
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_KUBECONTEXT_SHOW_ON_COMMAND='kubectl|helm|kubens|kubectx|oc|istioctl|kogito'
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configs created by `p10k configure` may contain parameters of this kind. To customize when different
|
|
|
prompt segments are shown, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for `SHOW_ON_COMMAND` and either remove these
|
|
|
parameters or change their values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also define a function in `~/.zshrc` to toggle the display of a prompt segment between
|
|
|
*always* and *on command*. This is similar to `kubeon`/`kubeoff` from
|
|
|
[kube-ps1](https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
function kube-toggle() {
|
|
|
if (( ${+POWERLEVEL9K_KUBECONTEXT_SHOW_ON_COMMAND} )); then
|
|
|
unset POWERLEVEL9K_KUBECONTEXT_SHOW_ON_COMMAND
|
|
|
else
|
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_KUBECONTEXT_SHOW_ON_COMMAND='kubectl|helm|kubens|kubectx|oc|istioctl|kogito'
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
p10k reload
|
|
|
if zle; then
|
|
|
zle push-input
|
|
|
zle accept-line
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Invoke this function by typing `kube-toggle`. You can also bind it to a key by adding two more lines
|
|
|
to `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
zle -N kube-toggle
|
|
|
bindkey '^]' kube-toggle # ctrl-] to toggle kubecontext in powerlevel10k prompt
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How do I change prompt colors?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can either [change the color palette used by your terminal](
|
|
|
#change-the-color-palette-used-by-your-terminal) or
|
|
|
[set colors through Powerlevel10k configuration parameters](
|
|
|
#set-colors-through-Powerlevel10k-configuration-parameters).
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Change the color palette used by your terminal
|
|
|
|
|
|
How exactly you change the terminal color palette (a.k.a. color scheme, or theme) depends on the
|
|
|
kind of terminal you are using. Look around in terminal's settings/preferences or consult
|
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you change the terminal color palette, it usually affects only the first 16 colors, numbered
|
|
|
from 0 to 15. In order to see any effect on Powerlevel10k prompt, you need to use prompt style that
|
|
|
utilizes these low-numbered colors. Type `p10k configure` and select *Rainbow*, *Lean* → *8 colors*
|
|
|
or *Pure* → *Original*. Other styles use higher-numbered colors, so they look the same in any
|
|
|
terminal color palette.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Set colors through Powerlevel10k configuration parameters
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for "color", "foreground" and "background" and change values of
|
|
|
appropriate parameters. For example, here's how you can set the foreground of `time` prompt segment
|
|
|
to bright red:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_TIME_FOREGROUND=160
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Colors are specified using numbers from 0 to 255. Colors from 0 to 15 look differently in different
|
|
|
terminals. Many terminals also support customization of these colors through color palettes
|
|
|
(a.k.a. color schemes, or themes). Colors from 16 to 255 always look the same.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `source ~/.p10k.zsh` to apply your changes to the current Zsh session.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To see how different colors look in your terminal, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
for i in {0..255}; do print -Pn "%K{$i} %k%F{$i}${(l:3::0:)i}%f " ${${(M)$((i%6)):#3}:+$'\n'}; done
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why does Powerlevel10k spawn extra processes?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k uses [gitstatus](https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus) as the backend behind `vcs`
|
|
|
prompt; gitstatus spawns `gitstatusd` and `zsh`. See
|
|
|
[gitstatus](https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus) for details. Powerlevel10k may also spawn `zsh`
|
|
|
to perform computation without blocking prompt. To avoid security hazard, these background processes
|
|
|
aren't shared by different interactive shells. They terminate automatically when the parent `zsh`
|
|
|
process terminates or runs `exec(3)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Are there configuration options that make Powerlevel10k slow?
|
|
|
|
|
|
No, Powerlevel10k is always fast, with any configuration you throw at it. If you have noticeable
|
|
|
prompt latency when using Powerlevel10k, please
|
|
|
[open an issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Is Powerlevel10k fast to load?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, provided that you are using Zsh >= 5.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Loading time, or time to first prompt, can be measured with the following benchmark:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
time (repeat 1000 zsh -dfis <<< 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme')
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note:* This measures time to first complete prompt. Powerlevel10k can also display a
|
|
|
[limited prompt](#instant-prompt) before the full-featured prompt is ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running this command with `~/powerlevel10k` as the current directory on the same machine as in the
|
|
|
[prompt benchmark](#is-it-really-fast) takes 29 seconds (29 ms per invocation). This is about 6
|
|
|
times faster than powerlevel9k/master and 17 times faster than powerlevel9k/next.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is the relationship between Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k was forked from Powerlevel9k in March 2019 after a week-long discussion in
|
|
|
[powerlevel9k#1170](https://github.com/Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k/issues/1170). Powerlevel9k was
|
|
|
already a mature project with large user base and release cycle measured in months. Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
was spun off to iterate on performance improvements and new features at much higher pace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k are independent projects. When using one, you shouldn't install the
|
|
|
other. Issues should be filed against the project that you actually use. There are no individuals
|
|
|
that have commit rights in both repositories. All bug fixes and new features committed to
|
|
|
Powerlevel9k repository get ported to Powerlevel10k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over time, virtually all code in Powerlevel10k has been rewritten. There is currently no meaningful
|
|
|
overlap between the implementations of Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k is committed to maintaining backward compatibility with all configs indefinitely. This
|
|
|
commitment covers all configuration parameters recognized by Powerlevel9k (see
|
|
|
[Powerlevel9k compatibility](#powerlevel9k-compatibility)) and additional parameters that only
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k understands. Names of all parameters in Powerlevel10k start with `POWERLEVEL9K_` for
|
|
|
consistency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Does Powerlevel10k always render exactly the same prompt as Powerlevel9k given the same config?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Almost. There are a few differences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- By default only `git` vcs backend is enabled in Powerlevel10k. If you need `svn` and `hg`, add
|
|
|
them to `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_BACKENDS`. These backends aren't yet optimized in Powerlevel10k, so
|
|
|
enabling them will make prompt *very slow*.
|
|
|
- Powerlevel10k doesn't support `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_SHOW_SUBMODULE_DIRTY=true`.
|
|
|
- Powerlevel10k strives to be bug-compatible with Powerlevel9k but not when it comes to egregious
|
|
|
bugs. If you accidentally rely on these bugs, your prompt will differ between Powerlevel9k and
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k. Some examples:
|
|
|
- Powerlevel9k ignores some options that are set after the theme is sourced while Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
respects all options. If you see different icons in Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k, you've
|
|
|
probably defined `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE` before sourcing the theme. This parameter gets ignored
|
|
|
by Powerlevel9k but honored by Powerlevel10k. If you want your prompt to look in Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
the same as in Powerlevel9k, remove `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE`.
|
|
|
- Powerlevel9k doesn't respect `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT`. As a result, right prompt in Powerlevel10k
|
|
|
can have an extra space at the end compared to Powerlevel9k. Set `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0` if you
|
|
|
don't want that space. More details in
|
|
|
[troubleshooting](#extra-space-without-background-on-the-right-side-of-right-prompt).
|
|
|
- Powerlevel9k has inconsistent spacing around icons. This was fixed in Powerlevel10k. Set
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING=true` to get the same spacing as in Powerlevel9k. More
|
|
|
details in [troubleshooting](#extra-or-missing-spaces-around-icons).
|
|
|
- There are dozens more bugs in Powerlevel9k that don't exist in Powerlevel10k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you notice any other changes in prompt appearance when switching from Powerlevel9k to
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k, please [open an issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is the best prompt style in the configuration wizard?
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are as many opinions on what constitutes the best prompt as there are people. It mostly comes
|
|
|
down to personal preference. There are, however, a few hidden implications of different choices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pure style is an exact replication of [Pure Zsh theme](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure). It
|
|
|
exists to ease the migration for users of this theme. Unless you are one of them, choose Lean
|
|
|
style over Pure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to confine prompt colors to the selected terminal color palette (say, *Solarized Dark*),
|
|
|
use *Rainbow*, *Lean* → *8 colors* or *Pure* → *Original*. Other styles use fixed colors and thus
|
|
|
look the same in any terminal color palette.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All styles except Pure have an option to use *ASCII* charset. Prompt will look less pretty but will
|
|
|
render correctly with all fonts and in all locales.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you enable transient prompt, take advantage of two-line prompt. You'll get the benefit of
|
|
|
extra space for typing commands without the usual drawback of reduced scrollback density. Having
|
|
|
all commands start from the same offset is also nice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if you enable transient prompt, sparse prompt (with an empty line before prompt) is a
|
|
|
great choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using vi keymap, choose prompt with `prompt_char` in it (shown as green `❯` in the
|
|
|
wizard). This symbol changes depending on vi mode: `❯`, `❮`, `Ⅴ`, `▶` for insert, command, visual
|
|
|
and replace mode respectively. When a command fails, the symbol turns red. *Lean* style always has
|
|
|
`prompt_char` in it. *Rainbow* and *Classic* styles have it only in the two-line configuration
|
|
|
without left frame.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you value horizontal space or prefer minimalist aesthetics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Use a monospace font, such as [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k).
|
|
|
Non-monospace fonts require extra space after icons that are larger than a single column.
|
|
|
- Use Lean style. Compared to Classic and Rainbow, it saves two characters per prompt segment.
|
|
|
- Disable *current time* and *frame*.
|
|
|
- Use *few icons*. The extra icons enabled by the *many icons* option primarily serve decorative
|
|
|
function. Informative icons, such as background job indicator, will be shown either way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note*: You can run configuration wizard as many times as you like. Type `p10k configure` to try new
|
|
|
prompt style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How to make Powerlevel10k look like robbyrussell Oh My Zsh theme?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use [this config](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/config/p10k-robbyrussell.zsh).
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can either download it, save as `~/.p10k.zsh` and `source ~/.p10k.zsh` from `~/.zshrc`, or
|
|
|
source `p10k-robbyrussell.zsh` directly from your cloned `powerlevel10k` repository.
|
|
|
|
|

### Can prompts for completed commands display error status for *those* commands instead of the commands preceding them?
|
|
|
|
|
|
No. When you hit *ENTER* and the command you've typed starts running, its error status isn't yet
|
|
|
known, so it cannot be shown in prompt. When the command completes, the error status gets known but
|
|
|
it's no longer possible to update prompt for *that* command. This is why the error status for every
|
|
|
command is reflected in the *next* prompt.

|
|
### Is there an AUR package for Powerlevel10k?
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is [zsh-theme-powerlevel10k-git](
|
|
|
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-theme-powerlevel10k-git/). It's owned by an unaffiliated
|
|
|
volunteer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also an [official Powerlevel10k package](#arch-linux) for Pacman.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is the minimum supported Zsh version?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zsh 5.1 or newer should work. Fast startup requires Zsh >= 5.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How were these screenshots and animated gifs created?
|
|
|
|
|
|
All screenshots and animated gifs were recorded in GNOME Terminal with
|
|
|
[the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) and Tango Dark color palette with
|
|
|
custom background color (`#171A1B` instead of `#2E3436` -- twice as dark).

|
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax highlighting, where present, was provided by [zsh-syntax-highlighting](
|
|
|
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How was the recommended font created?
|
|
|
|
|
|
[The recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) is the product of many
|
|
|
individuals. Its origin is *Bitstream Vera Sans Mono*, which has given birth to *Menlo*, which in
|
|
|
turn has spawned *Meslo*. Finally, extra glyphs have been added to *Meslo* with scripts forked
|
|
|
from Nerd Fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MesloLGS NF font can be recreated with the following command (requires `git` and `docker`):
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/nerd-fonts.git
|
|
|
cd nerd-fonts
|
|
|
./build 'Meslo/S/*'
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If everything goes well, four `ttf` files will appear in `./out`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Question mark in prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it looks like a regular `?`, that's normal. It means you have untracked files in the current Git
|
|
|
repository. Type `git status` to see these files. You can change this symbol or disable the display
|
|
|
of untracked files altogether. Search for `untracked files` in `~/.p10k.zsh`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*FAQ*: [What do different symbols in Git status mean?](
|
|
|
#what-do-different-symbols-in-git-status-mean)
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also get a weird-looking question mark in your prompt if your terminal's font is missing
|
|
|
some glyphs. See [icons, glyphs or powerline symbols don't render](
|
|
|
#icons-glyphs-or-powerline-symbols-dont-render).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Icons, glyphs or powerline symbols don't render
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restart your terminal, [install the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k)
|
|
|
and run `p10k configure`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sub-pixel imperfections around powerline symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerline Prompt Imperfections](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/powerline-imperfections.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three imperfections on the screenshot. From left to right:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. A thin blue line (a sub-pixel gap) between the content of a prompt segment and the following
|
|
|
powerline connection.
|
|
|
1. Incorrect alignment of a powerline connection and the following prompt segment. The connection
|
|
|
appears shifted to the right.
|
|
|
1. A thin red line below a powerline connection. The connection appears shifted up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zsh themes don't have down-to-pixel control over the terminal content. Everything you see on the
|
|
|
screen is made of monospace characters. A white powerline prompt segment is made of text on white
|
|
|
background followed by U+E0B0 (a right-pointing triangle).
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Powerline Prompt Imperfections](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/powerline-anatomy.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Powerlevel10k prompt has imperfections around powerline symbols, you'll see exactly the same
|
|
|
imperfections with all powerline themes (Agnoster, Powerlevel9k, Powerline, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several things you can try to deal with these imperfections:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Try [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k). If you are already using
|
|
|
it, switching to another font may help but is unlikely.
|
|
|
- Change terminal font size one point up or down. For example, in iTerm2 powerline prompt looks
|
|
|
perfect at font sizes 11 and 13 but breaks down at 12.
|
|
|
- Enable builtin powerline glyphs in terminal settings if your terminal supports it (iTerm2 does).
|
|
|
- Change font hinting and/or anti-aliasing mode in the terminal settings.
|
|
|
- Shift all text one pixel up/down/left/right if your terminal has an option to do so.
|
|
|
- Try a different terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A more radical solution is to switch to prompt style without background. Type `p10k configure` and
|
|
|
select *Lean*. This style has a modern lightweight look. As a bonus, it doesn't suffer from
|
|
|
rendering imperfections that afflict powerline-style prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Error: character not in range
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `echo '\u276F'`. If you get an error saying "zsh: character not in range", your locale
|
|
|
doesn't support UTF-8. You need to fix it. If you are running Zsh over SSH, see
|
|
|
[this](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/153#issuecomment-518347833). If you are
|
|
|
running Zsh locally, Google "set UTF-8 locale in *your OS*".
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cursor is in the wrong place
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type `echo '\u276F'`. If you get an error saying "zsh: character not in range", see the
|
|
|
[previous section](#zsh-character-not-in-range).
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the `echo` command prints `❯` but the cursor is still in the wrong place, install
|
|
|
[the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) and run
|
|
|
`p10k configure`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't help, add `unset ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT` at the bottom of `~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still having issues? Run the following command to diagnose the problem:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
() {
|
|
|
emulate -L zsh
|
|
|
setopt err_return no_unset
|
|
|
local text
|
|
|
print -rl -- 'Select a part of your prompt from the terminal window and paste it below.' ''
|
|
|
read -r '?Prompt: ' text
|
|
|
local -i len=${(m)#text}
|
|
|
local frame="+-${(pl.$len..-.):-}-+"
|
|
|
print -lr -- $frame "| $text |" $frame
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### If the prompt line aligns with the frame
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
|
| romka@adam ✓ ~/powerlevel10k |
|
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the output of the command is aligned for every part of your prompt (left and right), this
|
|
|
indicates a bug in the theme or your config. Use this command to diagnose it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
print -rl -- ${(eq+)PROMPT} ${(eq+)RPROMPT}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look for `%{...%}` and backslash escapes in the output. If there are any, they are the likely
|
|
|
culprits. Open an issue if you get stuck.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### If the prompt line is longer than the frame
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
|
| romka@adam ✓ ~/powerlevel10k |
|
|
|
+-----------------------------+
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is usually caused by a terminal bug or misconfiguration that makes it print ambiguous-width
|
|
|
characters as double-width instead of single width. For example,
|
|
|
[this issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/165).
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### If the prompt line is shorter than the frame and is mangled
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
|
| romka@adam ✓~/powerlevel10k |
|
|
|
+------------------------------+
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this prompt is different from the original as it's missing a space after the check mark.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can be caused by a low-level bug in macOS. See
|
|
|
[this issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/241).
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can also happen if prompt contains glyphs designated as "wide" in the Unicode standard and your
|
|
|
terminal incorrectly displays them as non-wide. Terminals suffering from this limitation include
|
|
|
Konsole, Hyper and the integrated VSCode Terminal. The solution is to use a different terminal or
|
|
|
remove all wide glyphs from prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### If the prompt line is shorter than the frame and is not mangled
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
+--------------------------------+
|
|
|
| romka@adam ✓ ~/powerlevel10k |
|
|
|
+--------------------------------+
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can be caused by misconfigured locale. See
|
|
|
[this issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/251).

|
|
|
|
|
|
### Right prompt is in the wrong place
|
|
|
|
|
|
See [cursor is in the wrong place](#cursor-is-in-the-wrong-place).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuration wizard runs automatically every time Zsh is started
|
|
|
|
|
|
When Powerlevel10k starts, it automatically runs `p10k configure` if no `POWERLEVEL9K_*`
|
|
|
parameters are defined. Based on your prompt style choices, the configuration wizard creates
|
|
|
`~/.p10k.zsh` with a bunch of `POWERLEVEL9K_*` parameters in it and adds a line to `~/.zshrc` to
|
|
|
source this file. The next time you start Zsh, the configuration wizard shouldn't run automatically.
|
|
|
If it does, this means the evaluation of `~/.zshrc` terminates prematurely before it reaches the
|
|
|
line that sources `~/.p10k.zsh`. This most often happens due to syntax errors in `~/.zshrc`. These
|
|
|
errors get hidden by the configuration wizard screen, so you don't notice them. When you exit
|
|
|
configuration wizard, look for error messages. You can also use
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_DISABLE_CONFIGURATION_WIZARD=true zsh` to start Zsh without automatically running the
|
|
|
configuration wizard. Once you can see the errors, fix `~/.zshrc` to get rid of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Some prompt styles are missing from the configuration wizard
|
|
|
|
|
|
If Zsh version is below 5.7.1 or `COLORTERM` environment variable is neither `24bit` nor
|
|
|
`truecolor`, configuration wizard won't offer Pure style with Snazzy color scheme. *Fix*: Install
|
|
|
Zsh >= 5.7.1 and use a terminal with truecolor support. Verify with `print -P '%F{#ff0000}red%f'`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the terminal can display fewer than 256 colors, configuration wizard preselects Lean style with
|
|
|
8 colors. All other styles require at least 256 colors. *Fix*: Use a terminal with 256 color support
|
|
|
and make sure that `TERM` environment variable is set correctly. Verify with
|
|
|
`print $terminfo[colors]`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no UTF-8 locale on the system, configuration wizard won't offer prompt styles that use
|
|
|
Unicode characters. *Fix*: Install a UTF-8 locale. Verify with `locale -a`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a UTF-8 locale is available, the first few questions asked by the configuration wizard assess
|
|
|
capabilities of the terminal font. If your answers indicate that some glyphs don't render correctly,
|
|
|
configuration wizard won't offer prompt styles that use them. *Fix*: Restart your terminal and
|
|
|
install [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k). Verify by running
|
|
|
`p10k configure` and checking that all glyphs render correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimum screen size at which configuration wizard can function is 55 columns by 21 lines.
|
|
|
However, not all prompt styles are offered at such small screen size as there is simply not enough
|
|
|
space to present them. *Fix*: Resize your terminal to at least 84 columns by 25 lines prior to
|
|
|
running `p10k configure`. Verify with `print ${COLUMNS}x${LINES}`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cannot install the recommended font
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you download [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k),
|
|
|
you can install it just like any other font. Google "how to install fonts on *your OS*".
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Extra or missing spaces in prompt compared to Powerlevel9k
|
|
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: Add `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0` and `POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING=true` to `~/.zshrc` to get
|
|
|
the same prompt spacing as in Powerlevel9k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using Powerlevel10k with a Powerlevel9k config, you might get additional spaces in prompt here
|
|
|
and there. These come in two flavors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Extra space without background on the right side of right prompt
|
|
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: Add `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0` to `~/.zshrc` to get rid of that space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
From [Zsh documentation](
|
|
|
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Parameters.html#index-ZLE_005fRPROMPT_005fINDENT):
|
|
|
|
|
|
> `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT <S>`
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
> If set, used to give the indentation between the right hand side of the right prompt in the line
|
|
|
> editor as given by `RPS1` or `RPROMPT` and the right hand side of the screen. If not set, the
|
|
|
> value `1` is used.
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
> Typically this will be used to set the value to `0` so that the prompt appears flush with the
|
|
|
> right hand side of the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k respects this parameter. If you set `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=1` (or leave it unset, which
|
|
|
is the same thing as setting it to `1`), you'll get an empty space to the right of right prompt. If
|
|
|
you set `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0`, your prompt will go to the edge of the terminal. This is how it
|
|
|
works in every theme except Powerlevel9k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT: Powerlevel10k vs Powerlevel9k](

|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel9k issue: [powerlevel9k#1292](https://github.com/Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k/issues/1292).
|
|
|
It's been fixed in the development branch of Powerlevel9k but the fix hasn't yet made it to
|
|
|
`master`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0` to `~/.zshrc` to get the same spacing on the right edge of prompt as in
|
|
|
Powerlevel9k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note:* Several versions of Zsh have bugs that get triggered when you set `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0`.
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k can work around these bugs when using powerline prompt style. If you notice visual
|
|
|
artifacts in prompt, or wrong cursor position, try removing `ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT` from `~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Extra or missing spaces around icons
|
|
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: Add `POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING=true` to `~/.zshrc` to get the same spacing around
|
|
|
icons as in Powerlevel9k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spacing around icons in Powerlevel9k is inconsistent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT: Powerlevel10k vs Powerlevel9k](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/p9k-vs-p10k-icon-spacing.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
This inconsistency is a constant source of annoyance, so it was fixed in Powerlevel10k. You can add
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING=true` to `~/.zshrc` to get the same spacing around icons as in
|
|
|
Powerlevel9k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note:* It's not a good idea to define `POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING` when using
|
|
|
`p10k configure`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Weird things happen after typing `source ~/.zshrc`
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's almost always a bad idea to run `source ~/.zshrc`, whether you are using Powerlevel10k or not.
|
|
|
This command may result in random errors, misbehaving code and progressive slowdown of Zsh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you've made changes to `~/.zshrc` or to files sourced by it, restart Zsh to apply them. The most
|
|
|
reliable way to do this is to type `exit` and then start a new Zsh session. You can also use
|
|
|
`exec zsh`. While not exactly equivalent to complete Zsh restart, this command is much more reliable
|
|
|
than `source ~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Transient prompt stops working after some time

|
|
|
### Cannot make Powerlevel10k work with my plugin manager
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the [installation instructions](#installation) didn't work for you, try disabling your current
|
|
|
theme (so that you end up with no theme) and then installing Powerlevel10k manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Disable the current theme in your framework / plugin manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **oh-my-zsh:** Open `~/.zshrc` and remove the line that sets `ZSH_THEME`. It might look like this:
|
|
|
`ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"`.
|
|
|
- **zplug:** Open `~/.zshrc` and remove the `zplug` command that refers to your current theme. For
|
|
|
example, if you are currently using Powerlevel9k, look for
|
|
|
`zplug bhilburn/powerlevel9k, use:powerlevel9k.zsh-theme`.
|
|
|
- **prezto:** Open `~/.zpreztorc` and put `zstyle :prezto:module:prompt theme off` in it. Remove
|
|
|
any other command that sets `theme` such as `zstyle :prezto:module:prompt theme powerlevel9k`.
|
|
|
- **antigen:** Open `~/.zshrc` and remove the line that sets `antigen theme`. It might look like
|
|
|
this: `antigen theme powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Install Powerlevel10k manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
|
|
|
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>! ~/.zshrc
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
This method of installation won't make anything slower or otherwise sub-par.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Directory is difficult to see in prompt when using Rainbow style
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Classic style the current working directory is shown with bright white white text on blue
|
|
|
background. The white is fixed and always looks the same but the appearance of "blue" is defined
|
|
|
by your terminal color palette. If it's very light, it's difficult to see white text on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to fix this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Type `p10k configure` and choose a more readable prompt style.
|
|
|
- [Change terminal color palette](#change-the-color-palette-used-by-your-terminal). Try Tango Dark
|
|
|
or Solarized Dark, or change just the "blue" color.
|

### Horrific mess when resizing terminal window

When you resize terminal window horizontally back and forth a few times, you might see this ugly
|
|
|

![Powerlevel10k Resizing Mess](

|
|
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: This is a bug in Zsh that isn't specific to Powerlevel10k. See [mitigation](#mitigation).
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Zsh bug
|
|
|
|
|
|
This issue is caused by a bug in Zsh that gets triggered when the vertical distance between the
|
|
|
start of the current prompt and the cursor (henceforth `VD`) changes when the terminal window is
|
|
|
resized. This bug is not specific to Powerlevel10k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a terminal window gets shrunk horizontally, there are two ways for a terminal to handle long
|
|
|
lines that no longer fit: *reflow* or *truncate*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Terminal content before shrinking:
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Terminal Content Before Shrinking](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-original.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Terminal reflows text when shrinking:
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Terminal Reflows Text When Shrinking](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-reflow.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Terminal truncates text when shrinking:
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Terminal Truncates Text When Shrinking](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-truncate.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reflowing strategy can change the height of terminal content. If such content happens to be between
|
|
|
the start of the current prompt and the cursor, Zsh will print prompt on the wrong line. Truncation
|
|
|
strategy never changes the height of terminal content, so it doesn't trigger this bug in Zsh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's see how the bug plays out in slow motion. We'll start by launching `zsh -df` and pasting
|
|
|
the following code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
function pause() { read -s }
|
|
|
functions -M pause 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
reset
|
|
|
print -l {1..3}
|
|
|
setopt prompt_subst
|
|
|
PROMPT=$'${$((pause()))+}left>${(pl.$((COLUMNS-12))..-.)}<right\n> '
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
When `PROMPT` gets expanded, it calls `pause` to let us observe the state of the terminal. Here's
|
|
|
the initial state:
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Zsh Resizing Bug 1](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-bug-1.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zsh keeps track of the cursor position relative to the start of the current prompt. In this case it
|
|
|
knows that the cursor is one line below. When we shrink the terminal window, it looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Zsh Resizing Bug 2](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-bug-2.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point the terminal sends `SIGWINCH` to Zsh to notify it about changes in the terminal
|
|
|
dimensions. Note that this signal is sent *after* the content of the terminal has been reflown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When Zsh receives `SIGWINCH`, it attempts to erase the current prompt and print it anew. It goes to
|
|
|
the position where it *thinks* the current prompt is -- one line above the cursor (!) -- erases all
|
|
|
terminal content that follows and prints reexpanded prompt there. However, after resizing prompt is
|
|
|
no longer one line above the cursor. It's two lines above! Zsh ends up printing new prompt one line
|
|
|
too low.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Zsh Resizing Bug 3](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/resize-bug-3.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case we ended up with unwanted junk content because `VD` has *increased*. When you make
|
|
|
terminal window wider, `VD` can also *decrease*, which would result in the new prompt being printed
|
|
|
higher than intended, potentially erasing useful content in the process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are a few more examples where shrinking terminal window increased `VD`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple one-line left prompt with right prompt. No `prompt_subst`. Note that the cursor is below the
|
|
|
prompt line (hit *ESC-ENTER* to get it there).
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple one-line left prompt. No `prompt_subst`, no right prompt. Here `VD` is bound to increase
|
|
|
upon terminal shrinking due to the command line wrapping around.

#### Zsh patch
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bug described above has been fixed in [this branch](
|
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/zsh/tree/fix-winchanged). The idea behind the fix is to use `sc` (save
|
|
|
cursor) terminal capability before printing prompt and `rc` (restore cursor) to move cursor back
|
|
|
to the same position when prompt needs to be refreshed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two alternative approaches to fixing the bug that may seem to work at fight glance but in
|
|
|
fact don't:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Instead of `sc`, use `u7` terminal capability to query the current cursor position and then `cup`
|
|
|
to go back to it. This doesn't work because the absolute position of the start of the current
|
|
|
prompt changes when text gets reflown.
|
|
|
- Recompute `VD` based on new terminal dimensions before attempting to refresh prompt. This doesn't
|
|
|
work because Zsh doesn't know whether terminal reflows text or truncates it. If Zsh could somehow
|
|
|
know that the terminal reflows text, this approach still wouldn't work on terminals that
|
|
|
continuously reflow text and rapid-fire `SIGWINCH` when the window is being resized. In such
|
|
|
environment real terminal dimensions go out of sync with what Zsh thinks the dimensions are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no ETA for the patch making its way into upstream Zsh. See [discussion](
|
|
|
https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers//2019/msg00561.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Mitigation
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few mitigation options for this issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Apply [the patch](#zsh-patch) and [rebuild Zsh from source](
|
|
|
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/master/INSTALL).
|
|
|
- Disable text reflowing on window resize in terminal settings. If your terminal doesn't have this
|
|
|
setting, try a different terminal.
|
|
|
- Avoid long lines between the start of prompt and cursor.
|
|
|
1. Disable ruler with `POWERLEVEL9K_SHOW_RULER=false`.
|
|
|
1. Disable prompt connection with `POWERLEVEL9K_MULTILINE_FIRST_PROMPT_GAP_CHAR=' '`.
|
|
|
1. Disable right frame with `POWERLEVEL9K_MULTILINE_FIRST_PROMPT_SUFFIX=` and
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_MULTILINE_NEWLINE_PROMPT_SUFFIX=` and
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_MULTILINE_LAST_PROMPT_SUFFIX=`.
|
|
|
1. Remove all elements from `POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`. Right prompt on the last prompt
|
|
|
line will cause resizing issues only when the cursor is below it. This isn't very common, so
|
|
|
you might want to keep some elements in `POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS` provided that
|
|
|
none of them are succeeded by `newline`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Icons cut off in Konsole
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using Konsole with a non-monospace font, icons may be cut off on the right side. Here
|
|
|
"non-monospace" refers to any font with glyphs wider than a single column, or wider than two columns
|
|
|
for glyphs designated as "wide" in the Unicode standard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Icons cut off in Konsole](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/konsole-non-monospace-font.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last line on the screenshot shows a cut off Arch Linux logo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several mitigation options for this issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Use a different terminal. Konsole is the only terminal that exhibits this behavior.
|
|
|
2. Use a monospace font.
|
|
|
3. Manually add an extra space after the icon that gets cut off. For example, if the content of
|
|
|
`os_icon` prompt segment gets cut off, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION` and change it as follows:
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION='${P9K_CONTENT} ' # extra space at the end
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
4. Use a different icon that is monospace. For example, if Arch Linux logo gets cut off, add
|
|
|
the following parameter to `~/.p10k.zsh`:
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_LINUX_ARCH_ICON='Arch' # plain "Arch" in place of a logo
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
5. Disable the display of the icon that gets cut off. For example, if the content of
|
|
|
`os_icon` prompt segment gets cut off, open `~/.p10k.zsh` and remove `os_icon` from
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS` and `POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note*: [Non-monospace fonts are not officially supported by Konsole](
|
|
|
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418553#c5).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux logo has a dot in the bottom right corner
|
|
|
|
|
|
![Arch Linux Logo with a dot](
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/arch-linux-logo-dot.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some fonts have this incorrect dotted icon in bold typeface. There are two ways to fix this issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Use a font with a correct Arch Linux logo in bold typeface. For example,
|
|
|
[the recommended Powerlevel10k font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k).
|
|
|
2. Display the icon in regular (non-bold) typeface. To do this, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for
|
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION` and remove `%B` from its value.
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION='${P9K_CONTENT}' # not bold
|
|
|
```
