Daniel Shahaf 766b350a7d Wrap yank-pop. 
As explained in #143 (which was a PR for #99), 'yank-pop' only works when the
previous widget has the ZLE_YANK flag, which means wrapping the 'yank' widget
breaks the 'yank-pop' widget (makes it a no-op).  However, that is a reason
against wrapping the 'yank' widget, but not against wrapping the 'yank-pop'
widget.  Indeed, if 'yank-pop' is wrapped but 'yank' isn't, then yank-pop
functions correctly and updates highlighting properly.

To unbreak yank-pop, either 'yank' should be excluded from wrapping, or one of
the fixes mentioned on issue #183 should be applied.

How to install

Using packages

In your ~/.zshrc

  • Clone this repository:

      git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

    (or download a snapshot)

  • Source the script at the end of ~/.zshrc:

      source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

With oh-my-zsh

  • Download the script or clone this repository in oh-my-zsh plugins directory:

      cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
  git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

  • Activate the plugin in ~/.zshrc:

      plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

Note that zsh-syntax-highlighting must be the last plugin sourced, so make it the last element of the $plugins array.

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 highlighters directory for documentation and configuration settings.
