In order for bash to figure out how much screen space your prompt takes up (and therefore where the actual command line starts), you have to enclose the non-printing parts of the prompt in \[...\]
. Mostly, that means escape sequences like \e[1;30m
need to be written as \[\e[1;30m\]
. You have some \[
's and \]
's in your prompt, but they're in the wrong places, which is making bash very confused. Finding all the printing and non-printing parts of a prompt as complex as yours is not trivial, but I think this gets it right:
export PS1='\[\e[1;30m[\e[\e[1;30m\e[1;33m\] \u@\H \[\e[1;32m\]\w\[\e[0m\] \[\e[1;30m\]]\n[ \[\e[1;31m\]\T\[\e[0m\e[1;30m\] ] > \[\e[37m\]'
