I just started using color-ls with a color-xterm last month, and I'm
addicted to it now.
But now when I use tab compeltion in zsh for cd and ls it feels weak.
What I'd like is for:
less d<tab>
to look exactly the same as:
ls -d d*
Is it in theory possible to do the above with compctl? If not how
might we add it?
Zsh currently supports making the prompts bold, etc. Has anyone played
with trying to give them certain colors?
Color hungry,
RoLanD

Not with compctl, but somebody has a patch to do it. It was rejected
for the standard release in favour of (one day) dynamically loadable
extensions to do this kind of thing. I don't remember the URL for the
patches, unfortunately. I'm sure somebody can, or you could search the
mail archives.

Sure. Look at the %{..%} codes. For example, I have
PS1="%{$(print -n '\e[46;34;1m')%}%@, %D{%A %d %B} %m%#%{$(print -n '\e[m')%} "

Sure. This is what I do:
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ; then
ESC="^["
NORMAL="%{${ESC}[0m%}"
YELLOW="%{${ESC}[33m%}"
BLUE="%{${ESC}[34m%}"
PS1="${BLUE}%m${NORMAL}%(#.#.$) "
RPS1=" ${YELLOW}%~${NORMAL}"

As for the completion listing's being colorized, I posted the patch here a
couple weeks ago. It's still at my web site:
http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gjb/patches/ZshColorPostPrompt.patch
Be sure to read ZSh3-Patches.Announce.txt in the same directory.
Let me know if you've problems. Enjoy.
