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.
