Adding a new-line to the prompt.

["Alex Polite" <notmyprivateemail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy.

This is my first day of zsh after some approx 2300 days of bash. First thing I have to do is recreate my bash prompt which ends in a newline. Tried inserting a newline with "\n". That didn't do the trick. Googled this for about an hour but still couldn't solve it.

This is what I have in .zshrc sofar:

fg_green=$'%{\e[0;32m%}'
fg_blue=$'%{\e[0;34m%}'
fg_cyan=$'%{\e[0;36m%}'
fg_red=$'%{\e[0;31m%}'
fg_brown=$'%{\e[0;33m%}'
fg_purple=$'%{\e[0;35m%}'
fg_light_gray=$'%{\e[0;37m%}'
fg_dark_gray=$'%{\e[1;30m%}'
fg_light_blue=$'%{\e[1;34m%}'
fg_light_green=$'%{\e[1;32m%}'
fg_light_cyan=$'%{\e[1;36m%}'
fg_light_red=$'%{\e[1;31m%}'
fg_light_purple=$'%{\e[1;35m%}'
fg_no_colour=$'%{\e[0m%}'

fg_white=$'%{\e[1;37m%}'
fg_black=$'%{\e[0;30m%}'


lb="%{$fg_light_blue%}[%{$fg_no_colour%}"
rb="%{$fg_light_blue%}]%{$fg_no_colour%}"

red_time="%{$fg_red%}%T%{$fg_no_colour%}"
cyan_user="%{$fg_cyan%}%n%{$fg_no_colour%}"

purple_host="%{$fg_purple%}%M%{$fg_no_colour%}"

green_pwd="%{$fg_green%}%~%{$fg_no_colour%}"

PROMPT="%{$lb%}%{$red_time%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$cyan_user%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$purple_host%}%{$rb%}%{$lb%}%{$green_pwd%}%{$rb%} "
