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.

FAQ
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### How are new releases announced?
|
|
|
|
There is currently no "push" announcements channel. However, the following
|
|
alternatives exist:
|
|
|
|
- GitHub's RSS feed of releases: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/releases.atom
|
|
- An anitya entry: https://release-monitoring.org/project/7552/
|

|
How to tweak
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts. See the
|
|
[documentation on highlighters](docs/highlighters.md) for details and
|
|
configuration settings.
