Previous commands wrapped with square brackets in OS X Terminal
Yesterday my terminal started surrounding commands that had been run with square brackets. I'm not sure how I've turned this on, but would like to turn it off.
Example:
So far, I've done:
- Checked that there's nothing funny in my
.bash_profile - Tried changing the profile back to Basic
- Tried changing to a different shell (zsh)
I've not been able to uncover anything on Google either.
Any ideas?
Update
Output of echo "$PS1"; echo "$PROMPT_COMMAND"
Solution 1:
Got it! Somehow I'd accidentally turned "Automatically Mark Prompt Lines" on:
I do wonder though where that configuration is stored on disk, as I also tried:
- Deleting
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist - Running Terminal from my Yosemite partition (didn't show the marks)
- Extracting a fresh copy of Terminal from the El Capitan installer (did show the marks)
Solution 2:
View > Hide Marks hides these square-bracket lines, without removing the ability to navigate with them, giving the best of both worlds.
