I am using vi mode and the green I and red N show up above so I have a three line prompt

[matthiasdebernardini]

Fish version 3.1.2 on Ubuntu 18

I switched to tide because pure was not handling tmux correctly (the prompt kept printing weird characters) by the way you should advertise this as a feature that it plays nice with tmux.

However below you can see it causes a three line prompt - how can I make that go away but keep vi mode?

Pure handles vi mode by switching reversing the direction of the arrow depending on if youre in insert mode or normal mode - its really minimal and I like it.

Is it possible to add something like this?

For sure; I'm working on it now. One issue to consider is that Tide offers multiple styles. I'll try to find a way to make this work for both the minimal and powerline styles.

Hi @matthiasdebernardini, can you try installing Tide from the vi_mode branch and playing around with it?

curl -sL git.io/tide | source && tide_install vi_mode

[matthiasdebernardini]

sure, but do I have to uninstall it first?

[IlanCosman]

No.

[matthiasdebernardini]

TLDR: works well so far

This is all with tmux btw

I am trying to add as much info that you might find interesting.

love it!

Thanks so much for quickly patching this - this is a great prompt.

Oh, yeah, all of those errors are from using the install script while Tide is already installed. Thanks a ton for opening this issue and helping me test it 😄
