If in Linux you may need install this:

    apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config

check your PATH `$HOME/.cargo/bin/slick`:w

Then add this to your `.zshrc`:

```sh

zle -N zle-keymap-select

zle -N zle-line-init

zmodload zsh/datetime

autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook

add-zsh-hook precmd slick_prompt_precmd

add-zsh-hook preexec slick_prompt_preexec

typeset -g slick_prompt_data

typeset -g slick_prompt_timestamp

SLICK_PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin/slick

function slick_prompt_refresh {

    local exit_status=$?

    read -r -u $1 slick_prompt_data

    PROMPT=$($SLICK_PATH prompt -k "$KEYMAP" -r $exit_status -d ${slick_prompt_data:-""} -t ${slick_prompt_timestamp:-$EPOCHSECONDS})

    unset slick_prompt_timestamp

    zle reset-prompt

    # Remove the handler and close the fd

    zle -F $1

    exec {1}<&-

}

function zle-line-init zle-keymap-select {

    PROMPT=$($SLICK_PATH prompt -k "$KEYMAP" -d ${slick_prompt_data:-""})

    zle && zle reset-prompt

}

function slick_prompt_precmd() {

    slick_prompt_data=""

    local fd

    exec {fd}< <($SLICK_PATH precmd)

    zle -F $fd slick_prompt_refresh

}

function slick_prompt_preexec() {

    slick_prompt_timestamp=$EPOCHSECONDS

    # Set cursor style

    # 0  ⇒  blinking block.

    # 1  ⇒  blinking block (default).

    # 2  ⇒  steady block.

    # 3  ⇒  blinking underline.

    # 4  ⇒  steady underline.

    # 5  ⇒  blinking bar, xterm.

    # 6  ⇒  steady bar, xterm.

    echo -ne "\e[4 q";
