Every command results in a number of empty lines before the result that is increasing about ohmyzsh

Thanks for posting this. Which theme are you using? Is doesn't look like the default, "robbyrussell" so am wondering if there is a buggy theme

[glebd]

Same thing happens with other themes. I'm using "maran".

[robbyrussell]

What happens if you change that line to:

alias 'history'='fc -l 1'

Am curious if history is a reserved keyword in newer versions of zsh.

[glebd]

Doesn't help.

[robbyrussell]

And to confirm, if you comment that line out... it stops?

[robbyrussell]

I'm not running on Snow Leopard yet... so apologize for having you test out a few things for me.

Could you try replacing that alias line with the following?

function history() {
    fc -l 1
}

[glebd]

This doesn't help either. Also, to confirm, if I comment the line out, it stops.

[glebd]

Zsh version 4.3.9

Just tried alias hist='fc -l 1', all good, no empty lines. Something weird is going on with the history command. Entered which history, got the message "history: shell built-in command".

[robbyrussell]

To confirm, the history function didn't work for you. Correct?

[glebd]

Without the alias, the built-in history command works OK, shows the same output as fc -l 1. Maybe the history alias is not necessary any more for Leopard's version of zsh?

[robbyrussell]

One of the issues with history on Leopard was that it only showed a handful of previous history lines. fc -l 1 outputs the entire history contents, which is nice to grep against.

Am curious if they changed something in Snow Leopard, but surprised nobody has mentioned this issue before.

[glebd]

Ah, now that you mention, the built-in history does limit its output. But I'm happy with hist as an alias to fc -l 1.

[robbyrussell]

That's good to hear. I just want to make sure that oh-my-zsh is working for people as much as possible so if you modify the history alias, you won't be able to get auto-updates. ;-)

I'll see if I can find someone to reproduce it and come up with a working solution.

[glebd]

I can always do git pull, right?

[robbyrussell]

Indeed! Closing this
