feature request: Highlights for different file types and permissions
Did you check existing requests?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Describe the feature
Similar to what LS_COLORS provides. I would love to see more highlight options for different filetypes and permissions i.e executable bit, setguid or sticky bit, and for sockets, pipes, devices, archive files. Or maybe a way to extend / customize the highlighting by providing a call to execute based on the files stats?
Provide background
I want to quickly see if the file I want to operate on is an executable or has the setguid bit set without needing to enable the permission column and also to see directly if the file is a socket or pipe or device etc.
What is the significance of this feature?
nice to have
Additional details
No response
Second this. Either through extending the highlight groups for manual configuration. Or maybe a more preferable way would be, hooking into a binary such as eza --color=always --icons=always --long --git --no-user and getting styling via that in the same way some plugins utilize bat. I'm seeing some mention of "Adapters" in the README.md so maybe this would be possible.
