Can't type anything when running on zsh at cygwin

[mike-code]

• I'm submitting a ...

  • [x] bug report

• Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Report a bug (unless it's not supported)

• What is the current behavior?

I can't type anything after the theme is loaded via antigen

• If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem

I open new shell, this what comes up, and believe me, I strike the keyboard but no character appear. The caret is blinking though so the window is reponsive. ctrl+c also won't work

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I would like to use alien on windows too.

• Please tell us about your environment:

• Plugin Manager: antigen, ohmyzsh

• ZSH Version: 5.5-1

Also, cywgin x64 on Windows 7.

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, etc)

I boiled down .zshrc to those lines only

source "$HOME/antigen/antigen.zsh"
export ALIEN_THEME="green"
antigen theme eendroroy/alien alien
antigen apply

Could you please try this one?? https://github.com/eendroroy/alien-win

It works now! The UI looks the same (no coloured arrows) but that's minor thing. You think you could do the same to alien-minimal?

I see that you removed the async lib. It means no more background processing right? It was unix explicit?

I will also create a port of alien-minimal :)

Not sure about why you are facing the color issue. I have no issue with color.
