iTerm ZSH - Missing Right Prompt I'm using oh-my-zsh and iTerm2. I've also enabled the zsh-vim-mode plugin from oh-my-zsh. One of the annoyances I've encountered is my right prompt (RPS1 &amp; RPROMPT) doesn't seem to show up. I'd like it to indicate what vim mode I'm currently in.

I'm using the robbyrussel theme. It seems my $RPS1 variable is set. I'm wondering if there's a configuration option I'm missing.



I'm running 10.7.

Same issue in 10.8.
Try wrapping your RPROMPT in single quotes. I've seen double quotes cause issues for others with their prompts before.

I would also ditch the precmd > setprompt process for the moment and just set RPROMPT directly to simplify for testing. Start with something like

precmd() {
  ...
}
PROMPT=$'\n$(rb_prompt) in $(directory_name) $(git_dirty)$(need_push)\n› '
RPROMPT='%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}$(todo)%{$reset_color%}'


and refine from there.
