feat: allow full prompt config for transient prompt

What would you like to see changed?

Currently I have my prompt set up like this:

This works fine for the most part except when windows are resized and spawn with a different size, as is the case often with tiling window managers.

In my config I have set the right-hand prompt to be a regular prompt with alignment: right and this enables me to have the CWD as seen on the left on the same line as kubernetes and other information on the right.

I would like to switch to rprompt for the right-hand side, as this removes the issue about the prompt moving around like this:

How can you have transient prompt like in the first image, but have the rprompt be on the same line as the cwd-part? if I change the right-hand part to rprompt it is on the same line as the prompt itself no matter what I try to do with newlines etc:

Here is my config for reference:

@kritag you can't. The transient prompt is a simplified prompt so you can't enable a full prompt config. This might be something to explore, but today that's not an option.

[kritag]

Ah, bummer! Thanks for taking the time to reply anyhow :)

[kritag]

If i disable the transient prompt alltogether I still get the same behavior having rprompt on the same line of the prompt. Is there like a hack of sorts to push the rprompt one line above? I mean, here is the behavior with transient prompt disabled:

If I add a newline in the rprompt segment I get:

Does this mean that rprompt is always rendered last, no matter how you structure your configuration? Or is there a way to structure it in order to achieve the result I'm after?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@kritag rprompt will always be rendered on the line of the cursor, that's the design (native, or not). If you want to display it above, create a right aligned prompt rather than an rprompt.

I agree that this should be implemented. Who is to say the transient prompt should only be a simplified prompt? My current configuration has this segment

{
  "type": "path",
  "alias": "Path",
  "style": "powerline",
  "powerline_symbol": "\ue0b0",
  "background": "p:powerline_blue",
  "foreground": "p:text_on_powerline_blue",
  "properties": {
    "folder_icon": "\uf115",
    "folder_separator_icon": " \ue0b1 ",
    "home_icon": "\ueb06",
    "style": "agnoster"
  },
  "template": " {{ .Path }} "
}

and I was able to configure the transient prompt to mimic the powerline / agnoster_full style with this complicated template
"template": "<transparent,background>\uE0B0 {{ $all := splitList \"/\" (osClean .PWD) }}{{ if and (eq (len $all) 2) (eq (index $all 0) \"\") (eq (index $all 1) \"\") }}/{{ else }}{{ $parts := list }}{{ range $p := $all }}{{ if ne $p \"\" }}{{ $parts = append $parts $p }}{{ end }}{{ end }}{{ range $i, $p := $parts }}{{ if gt $i 0 }} \ue0b1 {{ end }}{{ if eq $p \"~\" }}\ueb06{{ else }}{{ $p }}{{ end }}{{ end }}{{ end }} </><background,transparent>\uE0B0</><,transparent> </>"
and with comments

{
  "template": "
    <transparent,background>\uE0B0 
    {{ 
      // Split the current working directory (PWD) into segments by "/" and clean up the path
      $all := splitList \"/\" (osClean .PWD) 
    }}
    {{ 
      // Check if we are at the root directory
      if and (eq (len $all) 2) (eq (index $all 0) \"\") (eq (index $all 1) \"\") 
    }}
      /  <!-- Display "/" if at the root directory -->
    {{ 
      else 
    }}
      {{
        // Initialize an empty list to store the non-empty parts of the path
        $parts := list 
      }}
      {{ 
        // Iterate through each part of the path
        range $p := $all 
      }}
        {{ 
          // Add the part to $parts only if it is not an empty string
          if ne $p \"\" 
        }}
          {{ $parts = append $parts $p }}
        {{ end }}
      {{ end }}
      {{ 
        // Iterate through the cleaned-up parts of the path
        range $i, $p := $parts 
      }}
        {{ 
          // Add a folder separator icon before each part except the first one
          if gt $i 0 
        }}

          else
