Daniel Shahaf f48f5400c1 Revert "Do wrap the 'yank' widget, because that works." 
This reverts commit 8e7c26f489.

Currently, after a 'yank', paste highlighting (via $YANK_ACTIVE in zsh 5.1.1)
is applied but other highlighting (e.g., string highlighting when the yanked
text is «"foo» as a new word) is not.

See issue #183 for context.

How to install

Using packages

In your ~/.zshrc

  • Clone this repository:

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

    (or download a snapshot)

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

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

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

With oh-my-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:

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

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

Note that zsh-syntax-highlighting must be the last plugin sourced,
so make it the last element of the $plugins array.

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:

How to tweak

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