Otherwise, with a light-theme, the selected entry uses black text with
"bright black" background, which can be low contrast thus hard to read.
The description background is different, maybe we can fix that later.
See #8376
This basically disables syntax highlighting. That doesn't mean we use
absolutely no colors - the search match, suggestion, selection and the
pager have coloring, but only reverse or brblack.
The idea is that this disables anything that tells you about
the *syntax*, but it still tells you about the state of the
commandline. If we didn't highlight the selection it would be entirely
invisible, and if we didn't highlight the suggestion you would have no
idea where it begins.
So this basically brings colors on-par with bash, where the search
match is colored (in reverse) and suggestions aren't a thing.
An alternative is to add a $fish_highlighting_enabled variable like
the one for suggestions. That's still possible, but would require some
internal changes to avoid coloring some things with $fish_color_normal
and other things with the normal terminal color.
One thing this also does not do is set the git prompt colors. These
are currently disallowed from being set in theme files because they
start with `__fish` instead of just `fish`. We should probably rename
them.
These are simple
var val [val val]
files. Basically the bit in `set -g fish_color_escape 86c1b9` after
the `set -g `. Since we're not going to `source` them, however,
arbitrary code and expansions are unsupported.
Also comments and such don't currently work.
This allows them to be easily readable both from webconfig (next
commit) and the shell (later).
