zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / pattern
|

|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the `pattern` highlighter, that highlights user-defined patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How to tweak it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use this highlighter, associate patterns with styles in the
|
||
|
|
`ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS` associative array, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```zsh
|
||
|
|
# Declare the variable
|
||
|
|
typeset -A ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# To have commands starting with `rm -rf` in red:
|
||
|
|
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS+=('rm -rf *' 'fg=white,bold,bg=red')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The syntax for values is the same as the syntax of "types of highlighting" of
|
||
|
|
the zsh builtin `$zle_highlight` array, which is documented in [the `zshzle(1)`
|
||
|
|
manual page][zshzle-Character-Highlighting].
