Enter-PSSession and Random Shenanigans

[feamsr00]

Firstly, an acceptable answer might very well be "Thats crazy, Your crazy. Just stop it" (I won't, but it's an acceptable answer :)

I've setup OMP on a remote machine and then connected to it via Enter-PSSession

This adds [<ComputerName>]: to the start of the prompt line. I'd like to know if there's a way OMP can detect its running via remoting. If it can, I think I can configure this theme to hide some segment or at least alter glyphs to be more "integrated" with the remoting prompt.

Is this crazy or crazy?

I'm using the Tokyo config.

@feamsr00 can you confirm that in this case the $PSSenderInfo variable is not $null?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@feamsr00 according to the web, you can so something like this:

function Set-EnvVar {
    if ( (Test-Path variable:PSSenderInfo)
        -and ($Null -ne $PSSenderInfo)
        -and ($PSSenderInfo.GetType().Name -eq 'PSSenderInfo') ) {
        $env:PSSESSION=1
    } else {
        Remove-Item -Path Env:\PSSESSION -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }
}

New-Alias -Name 'Set-PoshContext' -Value 'Set-EnvVar' -Scope Global -Force

Adding this after initialising oh-my-posh will make {{ if .Env.PSSESSION }} available in templates and you can switch on it.

@JanDeDobbeleer Briliant!

With PsSession

Without

Changed the order of user from host to host with user to make it a little easier to write the if conditional.

Added this code to my theme\config

      "segments": [
        {
          "foreground": "#7eb8da",
          "style": "plain",
          "template": "{{ if .Env.PSSESSION }}:[{{else}}\u250f[<#ffffff>\ufcbe</> {{ .HostName }} {{end}}with <#ffffff>\uf508</> {{ .UserName }}]",
          "type": "session"
        },

(with PSSession looks a little odd :[, but I felt like mirroring is the best aesthetic you're going to get in this case)

Thanks again!
