Sebastian Gniazdowski 02229ebd63 'main': optimization that in my tests shows 2.7s -> 2.2s Consider indexing long buffers (say 300 chars). E.g. following line: integer offset=${${buf[start_pos+1,len]}[(i)$needle]} will gradually go into large indices for first index [a,] and be kept at large index for second index [,b]. Instead, we can remove already processed characters from buf: proc_buf="${proc_buf[offset + $#arg + 1,-1]}" $offset and $#arg are small, first index will not be large. $proc_buf will be smaller and smaller and the second index [,-1] will run shorter and shorter.		8 anni fa

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.

How to install

See INSTALL.md.

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 for details and configuration settings.
