# near the end of your precmd function.
#
# When promptnl runs, it asks the terminal to send back the current
# position of the cursor. If the cursor is in column 1, it does nothing;
# otherwise it prints a newline. Thus you get a newline exactly when one
# is needed.
#
# Of course this can make it appear that `print -n' and friends have
# failed to suppress the final newline; so promptnl outputs the value
# of the EOLMARK parameter before the newline, with prompt sequences
# expanded. So you can for example use EOLMARK='%B!%b' to put a bold
# exclamation point at the end of the actual output.
# There's another way to accomplish the equivalent, without reading the
# cursor position from the terminal. Skip to the end of the file to see
# that other way.
emulate -L zsh
# VT100 and ANSI terminals will report the cursor position when sent
# the sequence ESC [ 6 n -- it comes back as ESC [ column ; line R
# with of course no trailing newline. Column and line are 1-based.

# OK, now here's the other way. Works on any auto-margin terminal, which
# includes most terminals that respond to ESC [ 6 n as far as I know. It
# prints a line of spaces exactly as wide as the terminal, then prints a
# carriage return. If there are any characters already on the line, this
# will cause the line to wrap, otherwise it won't.
: setopt nopromptcr
: PS1="%{${(pl:COLUMNS+1:: ::\r:)}%}$PS1"
# On a very slow connection, you might be able to see the spaces getting
# drawn and then overwritten, so reading the cursor position might work
# better in that circumstance because it transmits fewer characters. It
# also doesn't work if you resize the terminal.
# To get the EOLMARK behavior, simply adjust the COLUMNS+1 expression to
# account for the width of the mark, and include it. For example:
: setopt nopromptcr
: PS1="%{%S<EOL>%s${(pl:COLUMNS-4:: ::\r:)}%}$PS1"
# The important bit is that the total width of the string inside %{...%}
# has to be COLUMNS+1, where the extra character is the \r. However, I
# recommend using a one-character EOLMARK to avoid having the line wrap
# in the middle of the marker string:
setopt nopromptcr
PS1="%{%S#%s${(pl:COLUMNS:: ::\r:)}%}$PS1"
