Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

Requirements: zsh 4.3.17+.

How to install

Clone this repository:

  git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

Source the script at the end of ~/.zshrc:

  source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

Download the script or clone this repository in oh-my-zsh plugins directory:

  cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
  git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

Activate the plugin in ~/.zshrc (in last position):

  plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)

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).

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the highlighters directory
for documentation and configuration settings.
