Completion menu highlight colour

Completion menu highlight colour

[David Evans]

  This is stupidity on my part, because I it working a few days ago.

  Completion menu selection works fine using

zstyle ':completion:*' menu select=2

So, how am I supposed to alter the colour of the highlight? Simply
adding ma=... to the list-colours style seems odd (and also doesn't seem
to have any effect). But, as I said, I sorted this out before...

  Thanks!

I think using ma is the right way, and I even managed to get it to
flash, so I turned that off again quickly.  There isn't an ma already
there?  Look at

print -l ${(z)"$(zstyle -L | grep list-colors)"} | grep ma=

(Might produce obscure results if you have the style set in multiple
contexts.)

  Ahahh--it turns out that it was a list-colours vs. list-colors issue.
I thought I read somewhere that the correct (haha :P) spelling works too
but apparently not!

  Cheers, all.

It works at the variable level --- ZLS_COLORS and ZLS_COLOURS exist ---
but that wasn't passed on to the styles.

  Yes, I must have read and conflated that. Doing it everywhere seems
annoying and easily inconsistent...
