Mysterious `←[?1h` character appears when typing on Windows about ohmyzsh HOT 9 CLOSED

I have the same issue, it started just after updating omz. Running zsh -df as suggested in the issue you linked does stop the ←[?1h from appearing on my side. However, I doubt zsh-autosuggestions is the issue, since disabling it does not solve anything.

I only see the issue in the integrated terminal of PyCharm and VS Code, when launching Git Bash setup with ZSH and OMZ. Git Bash opened as standalone does not have the issue. Running Windows 11.

If you follow the steps mentioned here #12328 (comment), does it fix the issues for you?

@carlosala It does not.

@Jouramie running zsh without the rcs is fine.

I found a workaround:

1. Comment out source ./...ohmzsh.sh script in .zshrc
2. Open new termina
3. Remove the comment and re-run source ./.zshrc

The prompt now works with omz correctly and does not show the issue. 🤔

You shouldn't source zshrc, in order to re-run a shell you can use exec zsh or omz update. @mcornella do you know why it could appear?

If this is fixed by loading OMZ last it must be that some bad setting is getting overriden. Perhaps it might be related to stty settings backed up in check_for_upgrade.sh 1? Try disabling the auto update with

zstyle ':omz:update' mode disabled

to see if that bypasses the issue (which would confirm that 1 is related) and also please post your .zshrc file that reproduces this.

@mcornella This did not make any difference.

Here's my .zshrc, nothing too interesting. I was trying to also disable the git autosuggest to see if that was the problem:

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
ZSH_THEME="simple"
plugins=(git)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

unset ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_USE_ASYNC
zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt no
zstyle ':omz:update' mode disabled

Hmm, I just found something that may have fixed the issue. I have an a lazy setup because I seldom use Windows and I'm running zsh through Git Bash and followed this setup: https://dominikrys.com/posts/zsh-in-git-bash-on-windows/

I just updated git for Windows and the problem is gone.

That makes it a not-our-issue situation! Thanks for the debugging!

Thanks for posting the solution Edmundo!
