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).

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).

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).

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.

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.

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:
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.

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/*]=12018-05-23
Assign colorizing now spans to variables defined by typeset, export, local, etc.:
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:
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.
