Takeshi Banse 2fd0845b77 Recreate the completion widget with its own function.
Currently, each completion widgets will be re-installed, but its
function will be statically associated with `_main_complete`.

We can get this function name via $widget[$event] which is the
zsh's zsh/zleparameter module's feature. We can use this information
for `zle -C`ing.

zsh-syntax-highlighting

Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

Requirements: zsh 4.3.9 or superior.

Try it

Here is a one-liner to try it without installing or modifying anything:

wget --no-check-certificate --output-document=/tmp/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh https://github.com/nicoulaj/zsh-syntax-highlighting/raw/master/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh && . /tmp/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

Install it

In your ~/.zshrc

  • Download the script or clone this repository:

    git clone git://github.com/nicoulaj/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
    
  • 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/plugins/
    git clone git://github.com/nicoulaj/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
    
  • Activate the plugin in ~/.zshrc (in last position):

    plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)
    
  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

    source ~/.zshrc
    

Tweak it

Optionally, you can override the default styles used for highlighting. The styles are declared in the ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES array. You can override styles this way:

# To differentiate aliases from other command types
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[alias]='fg=magenta,bold'

# To have paths colored instead of underlined
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[path]='fg=cyan'

# To disable highlighting of globbing expressions
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[globbing]='none'

You can tweak the styles used to colorize matching brackets by overriding the ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MATCHING_BRACKETS_STYLES.

ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MATCHING_BRACKETS_STYLES=(
  'fg=blue,bold'    # Style for first level of imbrication
  'fg=green,bold'   # Style for second level of imbrication
  'fg=magenta,bold' # etc... Put as many styles as you wish, or leave
  'fg=yellow,bold'  # empty to disable brackets matching.
  'fg=cyan,bold'
)

This must be done after the script is sourced, otherwise your styles will be overwritten. The syntax for declaring styles is documented here.
