Re: Live Clock Causes Directory Flashing In URxvt & XTerm

[S M <themolesbox@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm still a noob with all this and someone said to make my .zshrc section
like this now, I'm assuming is correct?

THANKS again! :)

# keys -----------------------------------------------------------------
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
if (( ${+terminfo[smkx]} )) && (( ${+terminfo[rmkx]} )); then

    # If these entries are not  available for a given terminal, then
    # that terminal  is in  keyboard-transmit mode by  default. That
    # means, everything  is well  without any additional  action. If
    # not, this can do the trick:

    function zle-line-init () {
        echoti smkx
    }

    function zle-line-finish () {
        echoti rmkx
    }

    zle -N zle-line-init
    zle -N zle-line-finish
