Hi, zsh's correction suggestions can be hard to proofread e.g. when a long path is changed only in a single letter romewhere in the middle. So I was wondering if zsh-syntax-highlighting can be used to highlight the suggestion (maybe boldfacing the differences). I suggested this to zsh-syntax-highlighting [OP: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/issues/323] but this can not be fixed there (quoting danielshahaf's comment) > In short: zsh itself does not make this possible at the moment: > `spckword()` (a C function) prints the prompt by the equivalent of `print > -rP -- $SPROMPT`, and there doesn't seem to be any prompt escape that > could be used to manipulate %r and %R.

(But let's keep this > issue open for now) Is it possible to address highlighting of proposed corrections from the zsh side? Thanks, Paul
