ZSH highlight on tab


One of the features that I kept hearing about zsh was that it will highlight your selection as you tab through a list of possible choices. Such as choosing a directory to cd into.

I thought this feature would be enabled automatically, but it doesn't appear to be. At the moment I have this in my .zshrc for git auto completion

  zstyle ':completion:*:*:git:*' script /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash
  fpath=(/usr/local/share/zsh-completions $fpath)
  autoload -U compinit && compinit
  zmodload -i zsh/complist

What else do I have to add to get this effect?


Solution

  • You also need menu and select:

    zstyle ':completion:*' menu select
