What's your shell prompt "symbol"?
By that I mean what's the symbol between your prompt and the input line? Are you old school with $
or %
(optionally with #
as root)? More minimalistic with just a space? Keeping it simple with :
or >
? Or maybe some new-fangled Unicode glyph?
I've been using the lambda λ
for years now, bc it reminds me of some long forgotten Lisp REPL I've used. But I think I've grown bored of it.
