SUMMARY

Custom colorful "$PS1" env. variables causes editing the previous command or navigitaion via keys like "home" and "end" or "ctrl+tab" etc.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make colorful custom $PS1 var
2. Write some commands
3. Use arrow keys to get the previous command and try to edit it via the keys i mentioned above.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing works normally if i won't change to the default $PS1 var.

EXPECTED RESULT
Colorful PS1 var is useful. But it is not working great for me.

What do you set PS1 to?

> What do you set PS1 to?
It was:
PS1='\e[1m[\e[35m\u\e[97m@\e[34m\h \W\e[97m]\$ \e[0m'
I used tput instead of "\e[xxx" but it was not good either.
Now, it is:
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2020-02-05 21:15:51 UTC 
Try:
PS1='\[\e[1m[\e[35m\]\u\[\e[97m\]@\[\e[34m\]\h \W\[\e[97m]\]$ \[\e[0m\]'

From `man bash`:
\[     begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt
\]     end a sequence of non-printing characters

Also remove the "\" before "$".
