When opening a command line the prompt shows the cwd, something like this C:\Users\test>

Entering now e.g. a = turns the last character (>) of the prompt message together with the = into a greater equal sign.

Broadly, because the terminal doesn't know what part of the output is the prompt vs the user input, this isn't possible. #757 might make it more possible. Until then, why not set your PROMPT to have a space at the end?

I wasn't aware of the PROMPT environment variable - thanks for that.
