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.

### 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
|
2015-09-24 18:45:35 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
