Matthew Martin 341a3ae1f0 highlighters: Use _zsh_highlight_add_highlight
_zsh_highlight_add_highlight appends to region_highlight $1 $2 and the
next non-null parameter. If there is no non-null parameter, do nothing,
This is so that highlighters can add a style with fallbacks if the most
specific style is not defined. If none of the applicable styles are
defined, do the right thing and don't add an invalid entry to
region_highlight.

The pattern highlighter doesn't use this function as it'd need too large
of an API change.

zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / root

This is the root highlighter, that highlights the whole line if the current user is root.

How to tweak it

This highlighter defines the following styles:

  • root - the style for the whole line if the current user is root.

To override one of those styles, change its entry in ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES, for example in ~/.zshrc:

ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[root]='bg=red'

The syntax for values is the same as the syntax of "types of highlighting" of the zsh builtin $zle_highlight array, which is documented in the zshzle(1) manual page.
