You know what I hate? My history isn't aggregated in real time across all my Mac OS X terminal windows. You know what else I hate? Typing in long commands in the Mac OS X terminal and then them wrapping weirdly. Especially when I hit the up arrow to go back in my terminal history.
>You know what else I hate? Typing in long commands in the Mac OS X terminal and then them wrapping weirdly. Are you escaping your color codes in PS1 correctly? Bad: PS1="\033[1;32m \w \033[m $" Good (notice the extra \[ and \]): PS1="\[\033[1;32m\] \w \[\033[m\] $"
Mine seems escaped as hell, but still gets wrapped. Anything I'm missing?
edit: couldn't get UTF-8 branch symbol to be properly displayed here, but this is how it looks:
