Newline for right prompt?

[roguh]

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This would be a nice extra feature to give me more room when typing. It also makes it easier to copy-paste terminal output while excluding the extra information from my right_format.

Describe the solution you'd like

Perhaps a right_line_break module analogous to the line_break module used in the typical left prompt.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried searching for related issues and mentions to the newline in the docs, but could not find any.

Thank you! Big fan of starship

What do you want the result to look like?
You can align modules to the right above the line where you can type, using the fill module.

The $fill module fits my needs, thank you.

Here's the output I had:

May 13 13:39-06:00
confs $ (cursor here) .....................................main   9b78  gke-dev-cluster

The output now:

May 13 13:39-06:00 confs $ .....................................main   9b78  gke-dev-cluster
(cursor here)

I moved my right prompt modules to the main prompt and used fill.

Ideally, I'd want the right prompt to be on the same line as the date, like this:

May 13 13:39-06:00 .....................................main   9b78  gke-dev-cluster
confs $ (cursor here)

Either of these fits my needs since they give me a way to copy-paste just the command and output without my prompt.

Nevermind, I figured out exactly my desired output with a mix of $fill and $line_break, no more right_prompt either (which means no more BASH-incompatibility).

Here's what I used to get this:

May 13 13:48-06:00                                              main   9b78  gke-dev-cluster
confs $ (cursor here)

format = "$time$shell${custom.machine_architecture}$hostname$username$jobs$all$git_status$fill$battery$status$cmd_duration$git_branch${custom.git_metrics_main_added_deleted}$git_commit$conda$kubernetes$line_break$directory$character"
right_format = ""
add_newline = false

[line_break]
# Prompt is one line, not two lines
disabled = false

Great that you were able to solve it. 🙂

Please close the issue once you're happy.

Thank you! I didn't realize these modules existed.
