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).

How to tweak

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