Hi, I'm using Zsh 4.3.9 and trying to use vcs_info. I added the following to my .zshrc as documented in zshcontrib. autoload -Uz vcs_info zstyle ':vcs_info:*' actionformats \ '%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{3}|%F{1}%a%F{5}]%f ' zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats \ '%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{5}]%f ' zstyle ':vcs_info:(sv[nk]|bzr):*' branchformat '%b%F{1}:%F{3}%r' precmd () { vcs_info } PS1='%F{5}[%F{2}%n%F{5}] %F{3}%3~ ${vcs_info_msg_0_}'"%f%# ' But it gives me the this error. /.zshrc:358: unmatched " So I tried a simpler approach: autoload -Uz vcs_info precmd () { vcs_info } PS1='${vcs_info_msg_0_}' But if I use this vcs_info_msg_0_ is not expanded and stays in the prompt all the time. ${vcs_info_msg_0_} If I execute vcs_info_lastmsg it gives me the correct result when I'm in or outside of a repository. Thanks for your help, Simon -- + privacy is necessary + using http://gnupg.org + public key id: 0x6115F804EFB33229
