zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / brackets
=================================================
This is the ***brackets*** highlighter, that highlights brackets, parenthesis and matches them.
How to activate it
------------------
To activate it, add it to `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS`:
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=( [...] brackets)
How to tweak it
---------------
This highlighter defines the following styles:
* `bracket-error` - unmatched brackets
* `bracket-level-N` - brackets with nest level N
* `cursor-matchingbracket` - the matching bracket, if cursor is on a bracket
To override one of those styles, change its entry in `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES`, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
# To define styles for nested brackets up to level 4
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[bracket-level-1]='fg=blue,bold'
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[bracket-level-2]='fg=red,bold'
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[bracket-level-3]='fg=yellow,bold'
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[bracket-level-4]='fg=magenta,bold'
The syntax for declaring styles is [documented here](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#SEC135).
