battery: use the same technique as in vpn_ip to avoid reset=2.

implement fake gitstatus api on top of vcs_info (or plain git?) + worker and use it if there is no gitstatus.

  • call vcs_info on worker. the tricky question is what to display while "loading".

  • add _SHOW_SYSTEM to all *env segments.

  • support states in SHOW_ON_COMMAND: POWERLEVEL9K_SEGMENT_STATE_SHOW_ON_COMMAND='...'

add POWERLEVEL9K_{SEGMENT}_{STATE}SHOW_IN_DIR='pwd_pattern'; implement the same way as SHOW_ON_UPGLOB. how should it interact with POWERLEVEL9K${SEGMENT}_DISABLED_DIR_PATTERN?

add p10k upglob; returns 0 on match and sets REPLY to the directory where match was found.

when directory cannot be shortened any further, start chopping off segments from the left and replacing the chopped off part with . e.g., …/x/anchor/y/anchor. the shortest dir representation is thus …/last or …/last depending on whether the last segment is an anchor. the replacement parameter's value is …/ (with a slash) to allow for x/anchor/y/anchor.

  • add to faq: how do i display an environment variable in prompt? link it from "extensible"

  • add to faq: how do i display an icon in prompt? link it from "extensible"

  • add root_indicator to config templates

  • test chruby and add it to config templates

  • add ssh to config templates

  • add swift version to config templates; see if there is a good pattern for PROJECT_ONLY

  • add swiftenv

  • add faq: how to customize directory shortening? mention POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_TRUNCATE_BEFORE_MARKER, POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_MAX_LENGTH and co., and truncate_to_last.

fix a bug in zsh: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/502. to reproduce:

emulate zsh -o prompt_percent -c 'print -P "%F{#ff0000}red%F{green}%B bold green"'

bug: open a new tab and hit ctrl-p. an empty line will appear before prompt.

take a look at https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua. it claims to have fzf support. would be nice if alt-down showed two groups -- one for subdirs and another for directory history (sorted by frequency of use? by last use? three sections? more key bindings?).

add p10k explain that prints something like this:

segment     icons meaning
--------------------------
status      ✔  ✘  exit code of the last command

implement it the hard way: for every enabled segment go over all its {state,icon} pairs, resolve the icon (if not absolute), apply VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_EXPANSION, remove leading and trailing whitespace and print without formatting (sort of like print -P | cat); print segment names in green and icons in bold; battery can have an unlimited number of icons, so ... would be needed (based on total length of concatenated icons rather than the number of icons); user-defined segments would have "unknown" icons by default (yellow and not bold); can allow them to participate by defining explainprompt_foo that populates array reply with strings like this: '-s STATE -i LOCK_ICON +r'; the first element must be segment description.

add docker_context prompt segment; similar to kubecontext; the data should come from currentContext field in ~/.docker/config.json (according to https://github.com/starship/starship/issues/995); there is also DOCKER_CONTEXT; more info: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/context_use; also https://github.com/starship/starship/pull/996.

support env precommand in parser.zsh.

add ruler to configuration wizard

Add POWERLEVEL9K_{LEFT,RIGHT}_SEGMENT_MIRROR_SEPARATOR. If set, left segments get separated with POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_SEGMENT_SEPARATOR followed by POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_SEGMENT_MIRROR_SEPARATOR. Each is drawn without background. The first with the foreground of left segment, the second with the background of right segment. To insert space in between, embed it in one of these parameters. POWERLEVEL9K_{LEFT,RIGHT}_SUBSEGMENT_SEPARATOR is unused.

Add Segment Connection screen to configuration wizard with options Fused, Touching and Disjoint. The last two differ by the absence/presence of space between SEGMENT_SEPARATOR and SEGMENT_MIRROR_SEPARATOR.

Fused requires line separator (there is already a screen for it) but the other two options require two filled separators similar to heads and tail. Figure out how to present this choice.

Get rid of saved_columns in the wizard and always present all options as if horizontal space was unlimited. print_prompt should print something like this if prompt is too wide:

Terminal window too narrow to display prompt. Make it wider and press ENTER to refresh.

Terminal dimensions will need to be checked more often.

Try getting rid of the "press ENTER" requirement by trapping SIGWINCH. Might need to run read -k with timeout in a loop.

Print all text with a helper function that keeps track of the number of lines remaining on screen. print_prompt will then be able to show a similar message for Terminal window being too short. This makes sense only for two-line prompts. This is probably OK.

If print_prompt can be told in advance how many prompts we are going to display, it might be able to insert or avoid inserting \n in between, depending on terminal height. There is one screen where one prompt is a one-liner while another is a two-liner. This is fine because there are only two options. print_prompt can assume that all options will use the current prompt height.

Don't use print_prompt directly. Create ask_prompt and use it like this:

ask_prompt \
  1 "No frame"   "left_frame=0 right_frame=0" \
  2 "Left frame" "left_frame=1 right_frame=0" \
  ...

There are two prompt questions that don't fit this pattern: ask_empty_line and ask_transient_prompt. The first is easy to adapt (print_prompt can print prompt twice if empty_line=1) but the second will probably have to be hand-coded.
