I recently switched to macvim, Everything work perfectly apart from the :shell or :sh. Shell have weird output, I tried few solutions but noting seems to me working out. :shell \n\w\n\u $ [72004h Solutions that I already tried. I add this to my .zshrc. 1: if [ $TERM == 'dumb' ]; then echo 'frrank MacVim' fi 2: if [ $TERM == 'dumb' ]; then # no colors export PS1="\n\w\n\u $ " else # colors export PS1="\n\[\033[32m\]\w\n\[\033[1;31m\]\[\033[1;36m\]\u\[\033[0m\] $ \[\033[0m\]" fi
