zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / pattern

This is the pattern highlighter, that highlights user defined patterns.

How to activate it

To activate it, add it to ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS:

ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=( [...] pattern)

How to tweak it

To use this highlighter, associate patterns with styles in the ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS array, for example in ~/.zshrc:

# To have commands starting with `rm -rf` in red:
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS+=('rm -rf *' 'fg=white,bold,bg=red')

The syntax for declaring styles is documented in the zshzle(1) manual page.
