I find that (GNU) emacs' shell-script-mode doesn't fully understand
zsh syntax. Among other things, emacs considers everything following a
hash sign (#) a comment, which of course breaks when using globbing
flags etc. I guess I can live with the occasional wrong coloring, but
it's more annoying when it breaks indentation.
How are other people dealing with this? Are there any modifications
one can do to the emacs configuration, or any other workaround?

Hey,
I'm experiencing similar issues, especially with zsh's short syntax
for conditionals (e.g. lines following "if [[ stuff ]] do_stuff" being
indented wrong). Unfortunately I don't have a solution; I just kind
of... manually indent the following line and hope the ones after that
will be indented correctly again. It's a pain, yes.
Kind regards,
mo

and "then" after ]] is not highlighted. I had reported the following
bug in 2005:

Does zsh really even have a font-lock mode that is distinct from sh-mode?

Optimistic viewpoint: The bug should have been reported upstream, since
it's not a distribution-specific problem. (From the report, sounds like
it may have made its way upstream.)

That's a bug even for other shells.
echo foo#bar
outputs foo#bar in every shell (but zsh with extendedglob which
is one of the reasons extendedglob is not on by default).
