I have my terminal set up to show the directory path:

enter image description here

However it only does this for the current command. Once I run another command the previous directory path isnt shown:

enter image description here

I find this quite jarring when Im entering commands, it feels like the terminal is "jumping" to me. I also cant see the timestamp for the previous commands. Is it possible to make the path stay shown for previous commands?

Im using Oh My Zsh and iTerm 2

This seems quite confusing a anyway I answered what I understood.

To add a timestamp on EVERY command.

Add this at your .zshrc: To show time in 24-hours format: export RPROMPT="%S%F{blue}%T%f%s"
Add this at your .zshrc: To show time in 12-hours (AM/PM) format: export RPROMPT="%S%F{blue}%t%f%s"
(The change is capital T and small t.)

To show working directory EVERYTIME.

Add this at your .zshrc:
export PROMPT="%S%F{blue}%~%f%s %F{green}>%f"



Hope This helped!

Given the actual theme you use is the Powerlevel10k addon (which is not part of Oh-My-Zsh), you should have a .p10k.zsh which stores your settings. Search the TRANSIENT word and replace the value. You should read :

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_TRANSIENT_PROMPT=off

  • The question was not written accurately. The issue dealt with a specific addon theme (power10k) used by the OP which is not part of Oh My Zsh. Then it is hard to answer the OP, resolving his issue and make abstraction of the actual reason he had an issue. Did I had to answer : “this is not a Oh My Zsh issue. Period”

    I understand. Still with other users in mind you can start with "In your answer (link) you revealed that …".

Oh-my-zsh brings zsh a multiple of themes. The behaviour of the theme may depend heavily of the theme. It could help if you indicate which theme you use.

Note : the prompt -c command shows the current prompt theme.

Perhaps you should type prompt -l and select an other prompt theme among the available one.

prompt adam1 will give me a prompt which doesn’t disappear between two commands.

  • If I type in 'prompt -c' the result is 'zsh: command not found: prompt', however in my .zshrc file I have: 'ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"'

As I had installed the Powerlevel10k theme I ran p10k configure to go through the configuration options again: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

I'm not totally sure which option changed the behaviour but it may have been setting the prompt style to pure.

    The actual option is « transient » you want to be disabled.
