This package provides syntax highlighing for the shell zsh. It enables
|
|
|
|
|
highlighing of commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an
|
|
|
|
|
interactive terminal. This helps in reviewing commands before running
|
|
|
|
|
them, particularly in catching syntax errors.

### Why must `zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh` be sourced at the end of the `.zshrc` file?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh` wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all
|
2015-09-25 02:45:35 +08:00
|
|
|
custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all `zle -N` calls and after
|
|
|
|
|
running `compinit`). Widgets created later will work, but will not update the
|
|
|
|
|
syntax highlighting.

### Does syntax highlighting work during incremental history search?
|
2016-03-30 04:13:46 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2017-07-31 01:06:14 +08:00
|
|
|
Highlighting the command line during an incremental history search (by default bound to
|
|
|
|
|
to <kbd>Ctrl+R</kbd> in zsh's emacs keymap) requires zsh 5.4 or newer.

Under zsh versions older than 5.4, the zsh-default [underlining][zshzle-Character-Highlighting]
|
2016-08-17 01:09:42 +08:00
|
|
|
of the matched portion of the buffer remains available, but zsh-syntax-highlighting's
|
|
|
|
|
additional highlighting is unavailable. (Those versions of zsh do not provide
|
|
|
|
|
enough information to allow computing the highlighting correctly.)

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts. See the

|
|

[documentation on highlighters](docs/highlighters.md) for details and

|
|
configuration settings.
