[Solved] zsh (vi-mode) and RPS1

Question

I'm a zsh (oh-my-zsh) user and vi-mode plugin works: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-z … plugin.zsh
So I want to improve it:
function zle-line-init zle-keymap-select {
zle reset-prompt
# change cursor color to reflect vicmd mode from http://andreasbwagner.tumblr.com/post/804629866/zsh-cursor-color-vi-mode
zle-keymap-select () {
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#FF3333\007\033\\'
else
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#99FF33\007\033\\'
fi
elif [ $TERM != "linux" ]; then
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;#FF3333\007"
else
echo -ne "\033]12;#99FF33\007"
fi
fi
}; zle -N zle-keymap-select
zle-line-init () {
zle -K viins
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#99FF33\007\033\\'
elif [ $TERM != "linux" ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;#99FF33\007"
fi
}; zle -N zle-line-init
bindkey -v
# if mode indicator wasn't setup by theme, define default
if [[ "$MODE_INDICATOR" == "" ]]; then
MODE_INDICATOR="%{$fg_bold[red]%}<%{$fg[red]%}<<%{$reset_color%}"
fi
function vi_mode_prompt_info() {
echo "${${KEYMAP/vicmd/$MODE_INDICATOR}/(main|viins)/}"
# define right prompt, if it wasn't defined by a theme
if [[ "$RPS1" == "" && "$RPROMPT" == "" ]]; then
RPS1='$(vi_mode_prompt_info)'
fi
My theme did not defined the right prompt, so I'm expecting that "<<<" as RPS1 in vicmd mode, but for some odd reason it did not appeared, only the cursor color changed as expected. What is wrong with it?

Answer 1

You basically define function zle-line-init and zle-keymap-select to reset the prompt (your first 3 lines) and then you overwrite them to change the cursor colors so 'zle reset-prompt' is never called.
