macOS ◆ xterm-256color ◆ bash 2334 views

Demo of a Zsh plugin, showing its theme support, brackets highlighting and overall feature set on the example of fast-theme (the shipped theme-control function) test code-snippet. Option “-t” passed to fast-theme causes the snippet to show. Cursor movement in the demo is devoted to demonstrate how matching-bracket is highlighted for the bracket under cursor.

The plugin: https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting
