Highlighting missing from vi / nano etc #886

Hi - recently moved over to zsh, installed ohmyzsh and wanted to add the highlighting plugin.

Followed the install instructions and the plugin seems to be installed, recognised and listed in the omz plugin list. Highlighting works on the prompt but not inside any editors i have (vi, nano etc).

Any suggestions at to where to look would be great.

Thanks

z-sy-h only highlights input at zsh's prompt. It does not interact with your $EDITOR in any way. You'll want to look in your $EDITOR's documentation for how to enable syntax highlighting. Good luck!
