Re: PATCH: random attribute stuff



This is definitely useful. Leaving attributes on at then end of the
prompt is something I always used to do. It still works except that it
all gets messed up by menu completion. I'm not sure about coloured
completion listings because I don't use them. In any case, it was enough
that I stopped leaving attributes on after the prompt.

I've attached a patch which changes prompt_oliver_setup to use
zle_highlight. This fixes things for the interaction with
region_highlight from my bracket matching widget but is still broken
when I use menu completion. It is especially broken if the bold
attribute is set: I get >= symbols around the matches.

Given that zsh now has internal knowledge that "green" is ESC [32m and
so on, would it be wise to allow this in prompt escapes: %A{fg=green}
perhaps? Or maybe support a prompt element in zle_highlight. I've only
ever used single colour prompts. Support for more than 16 colours would
also be good. SGI's terminal supported them 15 years ago.
