Colorful new fast-syntax-highlighting

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hello
Decided to write because it will be all colorful images:

a) colorizing of assignments:

http://psprint.blinkenshell.org/assign.png

b) colorizing of typeset/export/etc. assignments (different state-path
in parser):

http://psprint.blinkenshell.org/typeset.png

c) special math-mode for zcalc

http://psprint.blinkenshell.org/fsyh-zcalc.png

d) the detection of blank variables above in zcalc – also in advanced way:

https://asciinema.org/a/3iHdW7gYYrJOyhiHPHLTXnzKc

All in fast-syntax-highlighting,

It will be nice to (as already suggested in both issue trackers) to merge that 
into "original" zsh-syntax-hl.

Also, how about freezing on path coloring in "big" direcotires (with millions 
of files)?
And how about "dead" mounts (that also leads zsh to go into D-state)?

I would love to work with Sebastian to merge the two efforts. z-sy-h has
an open ticket for that:
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/issues/434

In the meantime, Matthew, Julien, maybe we should link fast-syntax-highlighting
from INSTALL.md or something?  I'm not afraid of competition ☺

There's X_ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_DIRS_BLACKLIST in master.  It hasn't been released yet.
Note that the X_ prefix means it's experimental (= enjoys limited forward
compat guarantees).  If you give it a spin do let us know how it goes.

Please continue the discussion on the (relevant) github issue tracker; this
list isn't a support forum for third-party modules.

> And how about "dead" mounts (that also leads zsh to go into D-state)?

Sounds like an OS-level problem of stat(2)/readdir(3) not returning.

Well, I know about such a "feature" in z-sy-h. But I failed to found something 
similar in fast-hl, so that question was mainly about if fast-hl have that 
issue (which is almost fixed in z-sy-h), or doesn't affected.

The case of that question was in that fact, that (as far as I understand) 
plugins are mutually exclusive, so testing that manually (instead of asking 
here) will require some additional work (remove z-sy-h from dotfiles, add 
fast-hl, reconfigure, deploy dotfiles to all the servers, check, then all the 
same in reverse order) :-/

You could just run 'zsh -f' and then source fast-syntax-highlighting.plugin.zsh.

I added it now:

typeset -gA FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS
FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/nfs1/*]=1
FAST_BLIST_PATTERNS[/mount/disk2/*]=1

It uses the interesting (K) subscript flag of associative arrays.

FSH now supports 256-color themes. I must say that the difference from
the default rigid 8-color palette is quite drastic. Asciinema
recording presenting six shipped themes:

Can you make it also support truecolor (24bit) colors as well, please?


As far as I see from themes (ini-files) there is support for "named" colors 
and 0-256 as a values.


But zsh also supports 24bit color assignments as well:
for example, `printf '\x1b[38;2;%s;%s;%sm' $RED $GREEN $BLUE` (and `[48;2` for 
background).


And I'd very like to make custom 24bit hl-theme to match my custom prompt 
theme.


Thanks in advance! :D

Yes simple ini file, in hope someone will contribute more easily, than
to Zsh script file that is directly parsed by Zsh.

I think Zsh doesn't support truecolor internally. The color names or
numbers are used in region_highlight array in strings like
"fg=110,bold" and here there is no way to specify 24 bit color value.
I was earlier looking for 24 bit color support in ncurses, and it's
rather the same story, the library is fixed on 256 value integers and
cannot be easily adapted to support 24 bit values.

Doesn't that: https://i.imgur.com/FDFf8jn.png mean it does?

Yup, that's what I talk about: it would be nice to have an ability to specify 
them. Although, I even agree on some shell env file with [magic] definitions 
instead of ini to make it work at least in my dotfiles.

Yup, there was some problem about truecolor in ncurses, but since 6.0.20180121 
(or, probably, a bit earlier, since I use that in neovim-under-tmux for a long 
time already) it does support truecolor through terminfo's `Tc` (AFAIRC) 
capability.

It's rather a user-end use of true color escape codes, than Zshell's
automatic coloring via region_highlight or complist module.

The ini is my own invention for fast-syntax-highlighting, directly it
has nothing to do with Zshell's region_highlight.

True color is a great thing, I hope someone will start recognition if
it's possible with Zshell.

That's great news, I hoped that hacking is limitless and a way around
color pair numbers and definitions will be found. Do you know how was
ncurses API adapted for this true-color support?

Today I've implemented asynchronous path checking, it should solve the problem:
