sed -i.bak -E '/zle \.?reset-prompt/d' ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-vi-mode/zsh-vi-mode.zsh

Removing zle reset-prompt fixes the issue and doesn't seem to break anything. Ref https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/1618#issuecomment-955656371

Hi @itsfarseen

Actually, it will break the vi mode indicator when user custom their prompt by the aspect. Besides, there are several places will call reset-prompt to redraw the content.

Thanks and Regards

[itsfarseen]

Ooh. For some reason, the current theme I use powerlevel10k, which has mode indicators, still works correctly.

I think this theme does the refresh automatically. Could you make the refresh configureable? So that when people have themes like this they can let the theme do the refresh?

Hi @itsfarseen

Thanks for your information, I will take a further research on this issue, as some cases need to be reset the prompt properly (e.g. #120), and look forward to the best solution, once I got progress, I will let you know. And welcome to star this project for further update in the future.

Thanks and Regards

This issue is related to #124.

The same thing happens with my custom prompt, so it probably affects all 2-line prompts

[awray3]

I found that this line contains a reset prompt command that happens every time zvm_select_vi_mode() is called, which when commented out (mostly) resolved the issue of the last line getting erased in tmux for me. I don't know if this will break other things or work for other people, but it may give an idea of where this bug is coming from.

[scresante]

I found that this line

Thanks for the hint @awray3 . I found that removing that one line from the current master on this version of zvm somewhat helps, but spamming <esc> still results in weird behavior.

I applied your suggestion to my own fork of the project, after reverting the changes mentioned here and now things are working fine with zsh+zvm+tmux for me.
