POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_STRATEGY="truncate_from_right"
# default behaviour is to truncate whole directories
+You can also change the delimiter (the dots in between) which is used to truncate the working directory. This setting is optional. The default are 2 dots.
+
+ # set the delimiter to an empty string to hide it
+ POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DELIMITER=""
+ # or set it to anything else you want (e.g. 3 dots)
+ POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DELIMITER="..."

+With this you could achive the truncate behaviour of the fish shell. Which turncates `/usr/share/plasma` to `/u/s/plasma`

+ POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DIR_LENGTH=1
+ POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DELIMITER=""
+ POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_STRATEGY="truncate_from_right"

In each case you have to specify the length you want to shorten the directory
to. So in some cases `POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DIR_LENGTH` means characters, in
others whole directories.
