# newline-fix.bash: Force the bash prompt to start after a newline # http://snippets.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb.cgi/.git/blob/HEAD:/bash/newline-fix.bash # # Some commands don’t print a newline at the end of their output, or # take long enough to return that you’ve already typed part of the # next command. Either causes bash to start its prompt in the middle # of a line, which confuses it. This script sets $PROMPT_COMMAND to # echo a magic sequence of terminal commands that will display a red # “\n” before the prompt if it would otherwise start in the # middle of a line. # # Copyright © 2010 Anders Kaseorg # # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
