Large space after prompt with fish on arch linux on arm about starship HOT 12 CLOSED

You sure it does that?
Pls check again. Cuz it used to happen to me but I check the config. Populated it and override it. Do not put space after $character. Idk if this will help but still I think it worked on me so 😞😞😕

Pretty sure, yep. I've managed to work out that using just

format = "❱"

as the config causes the issue.

Interestingly, it doesn't seem to happen with other characters. For example, just using > works as expected without the extra spaces.

Using more ❱s in the prompt seems to increase the number of spaces at the end. I'd guess it's an issue to do with how specific characters are handled on certain platforms?

Might be with font substitution. Are you using kitty terminal?

Try using other terminals just to be sure

Share me your config

Moreover, please check if the remote system is using a UTF-8 locale and that it is present on the system (/etc/locale.gen). The value of $LANG should contain UTF-8.

No, I've tried with several terminals, including Windows Terminal and conhost on windows, and Termux on android.

The minimal config to replicate it is just toml format = "❱"

It seems like $LANG was actually set to C instead of en_US.UTF-8 (which is what I use on other systems where this config works), but unfortunately updating /etc/locale.conf and rebooting doesn't seem to fix the issue. Could still be related though?

And yeah can be the cause try changing

from starship.

Did you make sure the locale is not commented in /etc/locale.gen and did you run locale-gen? Maybe also try changing the locale via localectl.

Oh I really should've double checked a guide on how to change that! I only uncommented the line and didn't run locale-gen. It's all working now with the correct locale.

Thanks for your help!

I am still a bit curious as to why this doesn't happen with other shells (it was fine with bash), but the locale being wrong was definitely the issue.
