Display execution time below to command

The following tip will display the execution time of a command. This can be useful, especially when you execute the same command multiple times and need to know when the last command was executed.
1# Push below in .zshrc
2preexec () {
3  local TIME=`date +"[%H:%M:%S] "`
4  local zero='%([BSUbfksu]|([FK]|){*})'
5  local PROMPTLEN=${#${(S%%)PROMPT//$~zero/}}
6  echo "\033[1A\033[$(($(echo -n $1 | wc -m)+$PROMPTLEN))C $fg[blue]${TIME}$reset_color"
7}
