how to reference another virtualenv plugin?

[okakaino]

Hi, thanks for the hard work first.

I wanted to show virtualenv on my prompt, and I just found that as long as "virtualenv" is included here:

POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(virtualenv context dir vcs)

virtualenv always displays, no matter whether I enable oh-my-zsh virtualenv plugin or not

plugins=(git pip python)

After long time of research and grep-ing, I found that virtualenv segment is determined in powerlevel9k.zsh-theme file:

prompt_virtualenv() {
local virtualenv_path="$VIRTUAL_ENV"

[[ -z "$virtualenv_path" ]] && return

"$1_prompt_segment" "$0" "$2" "blue" "$DEFAULT_COLOR" "${virtualenv_path:t}" 'PYTHON_ICON'
}

so how virtualenv displays is pretty fixed here, it is not asking any other plugin for the appearance. But my system is configured a little differently, so the default value is not accurate, and I'm not able to use my own plugin to determine how I want to display my virtual environment name, is this on purpose? How can I display the way I want, please?

If I may ask, how do you want virtualenv to be displayed?

If I may ask, how do you want virtualenv to be displayed?

As defined in

${virtualenv_path:t}

the trailing folder name of virtualenv_path is used as the virtual environment, but my folder structure is like

where >>test<< is what I want to show on prompt, but powerlevwl9k displays venv

I know I can replace

${virtualenv_path:t}

with

${virtualenv_path:h:t}

but is there a way to let powerlevel9k NOT to decide what to show as virtualenv, but surrender the ability to plugins like Autoswitch Python Virtualenv or virtualenv?

Thanks for the helpful explanation. This is very reasonable. As far as I know, all users prefer what you want over the behavior of powerlevel9k.

There is no way to do what you want in powerlevel9k.
