snippets for zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting

[z0rc]

Not really an issue. I noticed you have TODO items about autosuggestions and highlighting. Here are snippets I use to with zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting to better work with zsh-abbr. Hopefully they might be useful for you.

Enable regexp highlighter and add pattern that matches abbreviations as 'words' to highlight them as you like.

ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=(main regexp)
# highlight known abbreviations
typeset -A ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP
# regexp matches abbreviations only when they standalone word, but not part of other words
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP+=('(^| )('${(j:|:)${(k)ABBR_REGULAR_USER_ABBREVIATIONS}}')($| )' 'fg=blue')

Disable showing autosuggestion after abbreviations. Also I don't think autosuggesting the abbreviations make much sense as they are usually just 2-3 symbols.

# Don't show suggestions after abbreviations
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HISTORY_IGNORE=${(j:|:)${(k)ABBR_REGULAR_USER_ABBREVIATIONS}}
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_COMPLETION_IGNORE=${ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HISTORY_IGNORE}

Thanks for sharing! This is cool stuff. I'll think about how best to draw other people's attention to the snippets. Will leave this open to remind myself

Haha yes definitely :) I mean highlighting for things like abbr add etc, the app command completions.
