News On Updates in F-Sy-H

2018-08-09

Added ideal string highlighting FSH now handles any legal quoting and combination of ",' and \ when highlighting program arguments. See the introduction for an example (item #14).

2018-08-02

Global aliases are now supported:

Hint how to customize styles when using Zplugin and turbo mode:

zplugin ice wait"1" atload"set_fast_theme"
zplugin light zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting

set_fast_theme() {
    FAST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[${FAST_THEME_NAME}paired-bracket]='bg=blue'
    FAST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[${FAST_THEME_NAME}bracket-level-1]='fg=red,bold'
    FAST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[${FAST_THEME_NAME}bracket-level-2]='fg=magenta,bold'
    FAST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[${FAST_THEME_NAME}bracket-level-3]='fg=cyan,bold'
}

If you have set theme before an update of styles (e.g. recent addition of bracket highlighting) then please repeat fast-theme {theme} call to regenerate theme files. (2018-08-09: FSH now has full user-theme support, refer to appropriate section of README).

Ideal highlighting of brackets (pairing, etc.) no quoting can disturb the result:

FAST_HIGHLIGHT[use_brackets]=1 to enable this feature (2018-07-31: not needed anymore, this highlighting is active by default).

2018-07-21

Chroma architecture now supports aliases. You can have alias mygit="git commit" and when mygit will be invoked everything will work as expected (Git chroma will be ran).

2018-07-11

There were problems with Ctrl-C not working when using FSH. After many days I've found a fix for this, it's pushed to master.

Second, asynchronous path checking (useful on e.g. slow network drives, or when there are many files in directory) is now optional. Set FAST_HIGHLIGHT[use_async]=1 to enable it. This saves some users from Zshell crashes there's an unknown bug in Zsh.

2018-06-09

New chroma functions: awk, make, perl, vim. Checkout the video, it shows functionality of awk compiling of code and NOT running it. Perl can do this too: video.

2018-06-06

FSH gained a new architecture "chroma functions". They are similar to "completion functions", i.e. they are defined per-command, but instead of completing that command, they colorize it. Two chroma exist, for Git (video, video) and for grep (video). Checkout example chroma if you would like to highlight a command.

Highlighting of command substitution (i.e. $(...)) with alternate theme two themes at once! It was just white before:

sshot

To select which theme to use for $(...) set the key secondary= in theme ini file. All shipped themes have this key set (only the default theme doesn't use second theme).

Also added correct highlighting of descriptor-variables passed to exec:

2018-05-30

For-loop is highlighted, it has separate settings in theme file.

2018-05-27

Added support for 256-color themes. There are six themes shipped with FSH. The command to switch theme is fast-theme {theme-name}, it has a completion which lists available themes and options. Checkout asciinema recording that presents the themes.

2018-05-25

Hash holding paths that shouldn't be grepped (globbed) blacklist for slow disks, mounts, etc.:

typeset -gA FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS
FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/nfs1/*]=1
FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/disk2/*]=1

2018-05-23

Assign colorizing now spans to variables defined by typeset, export, local, etc.:

sshot

Also, zcalc has a separate math mode and specialized highlighting no more light-red colors because of treating zcalc like a regular command-line:

Array assignments were still boring, so I throwed in bracked colorizing:

sshot

2018-05-22

Assignments are no more one-colour default-white. When used in assignment, highlighted are:

  • variables (outside strings),
  • strings (double-quoted and single-quoted),
  • math-mode (val=$(( ... ))).

2018-01-06

Math mode is highlighted  expressions (( ... )) and $(( ... )). Empty variables are colorized as red. There are 3 style names (fields of FAST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES hash) for math-variable, number and empty variable (error): mathvar, mathnum, matherr. You can set them (like the animation below shows) to change colors.
