I want to teach the $LS_COLORS as much as possible.

.list-colors.zsh demo (link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK6BTjFQKuU[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK6BTjFQKuU]) image:https://github.com/hchbaw/list-colors.zsh/raw/readme/list-colors.zsh.png["list-corols.zsh", link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK6BTjFQKuU"]

It is far from complete though. It can't respect the file-type specific dircolor settings. Though it will try to respect the directory-type color (which is set by dircolors) by giving a special attention to the completion group name, but it's still quite error-prone. Please be aware of.

Install

[source]

% git clone https://github.com/hchbaw/list-colors.zsh.git % cd list-colors.zsh % $SHELL -uc ". ./list-colors.zsh && list-colors-zcompile ~/.dir_colors ~/.zsh/" ** Dumping and zcompiling for ~/.dir_colors re-compiling ~/.zsh/list-colors-init.zwc: succeeded ** All done. ** Please update your .zshrc like this: -- >8 -- fpath+=~/.zsh autoload -Uz list-colors-init; list-colors-init zstyle -e ':completion:*:default' list-colors list-colors list-colors-aux

zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''

If you want to make it to respect directory-type color setting, you need

to uncomment above line, please.

NAME

list-colors-zcompile - Dump and zcompile list-corols.zsh

SYNOPSIS

[verse] 'list-colors-zcompile'

DESCRIPTION

<dircolors file> (`dircolors(5)`) and functions which will be actually
needed at the runtime under <directory to output> which is most likely in
`$fpath`. <color file> is used to define the colors which maps `dircolors`
color to the another/cursor color.

EXAMPLES
