Re: Automate keypresses

[Ben Klein <robobenklein@xxxxxxxxx>]

My bad - precmd does indeed get executed, but it seems that I am not
getting $RPROMPT rendered when using `zsh -is`.

Also, why do we get PROMPT_SP behaviour there and not in real interactive
use? Is there any option to echo the stdin input when it's being used? (vs
all at once before any prompts are rendered?)
