zsh + vi-mode: enter Insert mode before executing command

I am using zsh with vi-mode enabled, along with a visual cue for [NORMAL] mode displayed in $RPS1, all set up like this:



bindkey -v

MODE_INDICATOR="%$fg[cyan]% [% NORMAL]% %$reset_color%"

function vi_mode_prompt_info()
echo "$$KEYMAP/vicmd/$MODE_INDICATOR/(main"


RPS1='$(vi_mode_prompt_info)'


What bugs me a bit is that whenever I execute a command while in Normal mode, the visual cue (that [NORMAL] at the right hand edge of the terminal) remains in history, and also acts jittery whenever I resize terminal.



I would like to automatically enter Insert mode immediately before every command is executed, in order to remove [NORMAL] cue from history.



How can this be set up?

  • I can't reproduce the indicator under zsh 5.4.2. $KEYMAP is only available in widgets. Does it work in a more recent version? Please post complete code to reproduce the problem. In addition to the $KEYMAP visibility, you're missing setopt prompt_subst and autoload colors; colors (or instead remove the color stuff which isn't needed for this question).
