Re: How to stop dir expansion in the prompt?

[Shiyao Ma <i@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.
Really a right direction.

I now set :
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' nvcsformats "%d" ""


To replace $HOME with ~, I do this:
PROMPT="%(?.${success_color}.${failure_color})${SSH_TTY:+[%n@%m]}%B%${max_path_chars}<...<"'${${vcs_info_msg_0_%%}/#$HOME/~}'"%<<%(!.${root_char}.${user_char})%b%f
"

But it doesn't work as if the replace never happened.
(Does zsh support nested variable expansion?)

Where am I doing wrong?
