I know use PROMPT='%?:%y:%24<...<%~%# ' (plus a few colour codes)

this means:
[exit status]:[line]:[truncated path][%(user) or #(root)]
so it's something like 0:pts/0:...ojects/afoc/modules%

but then, this is zsh...

edit that time was just now, when I realized that I can't use an 80-character terminal AND a long prompt string AND paths like ~/code/projects/afoc/ .
