    That fixed mine too. The default zsh shell prompt seems to break Tramp. Commented May 9, 2019 at 19:26
  • Thanks, I did not realize this is how TRAMP works. So it stands to reason that some of these fancy Z shell prompts github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes#themes will also be incompatible with TRAMP, by default? Commented Jun 11, 2022 at 20:16

    Yes, but if you modify the .zshenv as I did then the fancy prompt will be disabled for TRAMP (because the TERM type will be 'dumb' rather than, say, xterm) Commented Jun 12, 2022 at 23:37
