The default prompts provided by tcsh look very non Gentoo-ish in comparison with the bash equivalents. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge tcsh 2. start tcsh for a user with no .tcshrc 3. watch the prompt Actual Results: got a dull prompt Expected Results: present a Gentoo-ish prompt, like the bash default prompt I propose bash inspired prompts for tcsh users and root. user: set prompt = "%{\033]0;%m:%~\007%}%{\033[0;1;34m%}(%{\033[0;1;32m%}%m%{\033[0m%}:%{\033[0;1;34m%}%c3%{\033[0;1;34m%}) %{\033[0;1;32m%}%n%{\033[0;1;32m%}%%%{\033[0m%} " root: set prompt = "%{\033]0;%# %m:%~\007%}%{\033[0;1;34m%}(%{\033[0;1;31m%}%m%{\033[0m%}:%{\033[0;1;34m%}%c3%{\033[0;1;34m%}) %{\033[0;1;31m%}%#%{\033[0m%} "

please include a patch to achieve your desired results. Just reopen this bug when you've attached the patch.
Created an attachment (id=56906) [details] This patch changes the default tcsh prompts This patch changes the default tcsh prompts: - it sets a special prompt for the root user - it sets a prompt for normal users - it sets the window title accordingly when this is supported The colours and style of the prompts are much bash alike but with a tcsh flavour.
I'm sorry for the hassle. I attached a patch for the /etc/profile.d/tcsh-settings file where the prompt is set.
Created an attachment (id=56928) [details] TCSH prompt patch v2 Oops, if we don't know what kind of terminal emulation we deal with, also don't use colours. This is a better version of the patch and makes the previous one obsolete.
Created an attachment (id=56991) [details] patch which does not fail on a clean install (v3) Sorry, I didn't realise that 100 people have 100 different environments. This time the patch should succesfully work on a default clean installation.
Created an attachment (id=58352) [details] Patch which sets X window title only if applicable This patch always sets the coloured prompt, but only sets the X window title if appropriate, like in Bash the title is set using PROMPT_COMMAND in /etc/skel/.bashrc. Not using precmd here, because that doesn't allow us to have a path with the homedir substituted by `~'.
note to self: done
Fixed in 6.14-r1
