Printed new line is weird

[mobsenpai]

After selection an option the new line printed shows like this->

Before select: I pressed ctrl + r it started skim and its normal.

After select: I selected cmatrix from list and now cmat is beside my starship prompt.

OS: Nixos
Shell: Bash
Prompt: Starship

I don't know what informative to give for this one. As I don't have any skim configuration in my bashrc. I just have a nixos option enabled

skim = {
        enable = true;
        enableBashIntegration = true;
      };

Looks like the project is abandoned.

Looks like the project is abandoned.

Regarding the fact that it is abandoned. As long as it works I have no problem using it. However, I find that there are people who are maintaining a fork. You could try it!

Regarding the error. In zsh I don't have this problem. I can't tell you why!

[LoricAndre]

There's a good chance that this is due to your starship configuration rather than skim itself, could you please share it ?

[mobsenpai]

Okay. I am currently not on my pc so can only share my nix dotfiles.
starship.nix

I also use bash instead of zsh and all the configs are in my dotfiles 'hana'

[LoricAndre]

This doesn't really look like the config for the prompt above, could you please share your $PS1 and $PS2 ?
I'm looking for something like a \r somewhere that would justify this

[mobsenpai]

"This doesn't really look like the config for the prompt above" - If you meant the starship prompt doesn't look like the one shows in the pic, then it was because I've changed the config a little bit.

And I had skim not enabled in nixos in my dots. In my PC I did programs.skim.enable = true. and Enabled skim. Then pressed ctrl + r to bring up the history of commands.
And this is what shows -

" share your $PS1 and $PS2" I don't really have anything configured, also I don't know where to find them, nothing was in bashrc as well.

[LoricAndre]

Thanks.
Just to be sure, does the issue happen only right after you exit the ctrl-r menu or does it persist after you press enter to get a new prompt line for example ?
Also, skim 0.10.4 is a bit outdated, could you please update ?

[mobsenpai]

Yeah I press enter and what I wrote before pressing enter stays there instead of yk completely being replaced with the chosen history.
So I only have 0.10.4 version is all of nixos repositories and I would have to make some changes manually in my config to use the latest version

[LoricAndre]

I'm not sure there is much we can do until nix-pkgs updates skim to a later version unfortunately
