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](highlighters)
|
|
for documentation and configuration settings.
