Description

When in the home folder, the Python segment is missing. I am using the following config for the Python segment:

{
    "type": "python",
    "style": "powerline",
    "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
    "foreground": "#100e23",
    "background": "#906cff",
    "properties": {
        "prefix": " \uE235 ",
        "display_mode": "environment"
    }
},

Environment

• Oh My Posh version: 3.169.2
• Theme: gist
• Operating System: Windows.
• Shell: Powershell.
• Terminal: Windows Terminal / VS Code terminal.

Optional

• posh-git version: 1.0.0
• git version: 2.29.2

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

The Python segment symbol should be visible when in the home folder.

Actual behavior:

@Holt59 that's actually by design. To always show the segment, you need to use "display_mode": "always" for the Python segment.

@JanDeDobbeleer So there is now way to have the old v2 behavior? "display_mode": "always" shows the segment even when I'm not in a virtual environment, that's not what I want...

@Holt59 we could do this differently, let me think about a different approach.
