I use the colors in that way for two reasons. 1) Because that is how I learned to do it so that is the way I default to when I want to apply a color; and 2) I use the colors in some functions that are also part of my .zshrc file, it keeps me from having to redefine colors throughout the whole file if I feel like a change. I can see benefits and downfalls to both approaches . @loot

As its all I need to get the job done =), loot that would imply they autoload colors (which I do so Ill try that). zsh/screen/vim are 3 must haves for me, actually i should say my “need only” group.

The color definitions are parsed incorrectly when using argument completion so you will see a strange gap between what you are trying to complete. For example: $ ls --h --help To fix this I had to wrap the color definitions with "%{...%}". Now they look like this: fg_red=%{$'\e[0;31m'%} This change makes sure they are non-printing characters. Now I can adopt zsh as my new shell! I just switched from bash to zsh and I noticed a bit of weirdness that I managed to fix, but might be causing trouble for others.
