alias cat='bat --paging="never"' shows "STDIN <EMPTY>" on every ZSH prompt #3445
Description
What steps will reproduce the bug?
- alias cat to bat in ~/.zshrc
# use bat if bat is available
if command -v bat &>/dev/null; then
alias cat='bat --style="header-filename,header-filesize,grid" --paging="never"'
fi
- update bat version to bat 0.26.0
- source the ~/.zshrc
- from now of every empty prompt returns STDIN
What happens?
After update to bat 0.26.0 every prompt show up with a STDIN . I have been using the zsh configuration before and never faced any issue then
┗╸❯❯❯
┏╸~────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STDIN <EMPTY>

┗╸❯❯❯ bat --version
bat 0.26.0

What did you expect to happen instead?

appended to every output
