Pluginfree

zsh-patina is a Zsh plugin that highlights command-line syntax while typing, using a lightweight background daemon so highlighting stays fast even on long commands. It can flag invalid commands and mark existing files or directories automatically, with a choice of built-in or custom color themes. It's for developers and system administrators who work in a Zsh terminal and want faster visual feedback on what they're typing.
