Cannot save when using zsh

[marianopeck]

Hi guys,

I am using tmux with zsh on Linux Mint. When I try to save it, I get this error:

 ❯ ^[[4~ fc -R '/home/mpeck/.tmux/resurrect/zsh_history-0:1.1'                                              [16:15:13]
zsh: substitution failed
>>> elapsed time 35s

If add below line to my zshrc:

#bindkey "^u" backward-kill-line

Then I get this when saving the session:

 mpeck@vm-mint64  ~ 
 ❯  fc -lLn -64 > '/home/mpeck/.tmux/resurrect/zsh_history-0:1.1'             [18:51:18]
zsh: file exists: /home/mpeck/.tmux/resurrect/zsh_history-0:1.1

 ✘ mpeck@vm-mint64  ~ 
 ❯  fc -R '/home/mpeck/.tmux/resurrect/zsh_history-0:1.1'                     [18:51:18]

 mpeck@vm-mint64  ~ 
 ❯  

So..2 errors..one is the > when the file exists with zsh. The other one is the print out to console of the read command.

Any ideas how to fix both?

I also face the same issue. Seems to be caused by zprezto modules. I could solve the first issue by putting this in my zshrc:

bindkey "^E" end-of-line # Map end-of-line key in the same way as zprezto editor module to prevent issue with tmux-resurrect.

The editor module seems to make keybindings for different modes. The end-of-line binding for viins conflicts here. So by adding the same binding which is then also retrieved by tmux-resurrect solves the issue.

The file write issue can be solved by putting this in zshrc:

setopt CLOBBER # Allow pipe to existing file. Prevent issue with history save in tmux-resurrect.

The cleaner way maybe would be that save.sh in resurrect would use force here:

local history_w='fc -lLn -64 >!'

Thanks @mstaz - this is the first concrete workaround I see in many months!
