zsh-syntax-highlighting

Fish shell-like like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

Requirements: zsh 4.3.17+.

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:

How to tweak

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts. See the
documentation on highlighters for details and
configuration settings.
