zsh environment: zsh + zim

This is likely due to a breakdown in when interacting with powerlevel10k. Make sure you update powerlevel10k as a first step which may fix it.

[wowqhb]

It is already up to date. The problem persists.

If oh-my-zsh has been installed before, you need to uninstall oh-my-zsh.

# Execute under zsh
uninstall_oh_my_zsh

Install zsh

sudo apt update
sudo apt install zsh git
chsh -s $(which zsh)
reboot

Install zim

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh

Install powerlevel10k

vim ~/.zimrc
#Add the following content to .zimrc
zmodule romkatv/powerlevel10k

zimfw install

Configure p10k

p10k configure

echo "skip_global_compinit=1" > ~/.zshenv
# echo "typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=quiet" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "setopt no_nomatch" >> ~/.zshrc

Install nerd font

git clone https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git --depth 1
cd nerd-fonts
sudo ./install.sh -S

Configure fonts

Select "FiraCode Nerd Font"

FYI for powerlevel10k we're planning on disabling suggest when it's detected as there are configs where it doesn't work well: #282578

We should still fix these bugs and you can still enable it after #282578 is implemented, but the default will be off.
