Highlight visually

[elvis-sik]

I installed the plugin in my oh-my-zsh configuration.

I notice I can select things in visual mode, but there is no visual indication of the selected text being highlighted. It's as if I am in insert mode and the cursor walks around when I press the navigation keys.

Another plugin that I used that offered a visual mode did offer such visual highlighting.

Now, I don't know if this is a problem with my configuration or intended behavior. What is it?

What's your terminal emulator?

I am not currently using this plugin, and TBH during all the presumably months in which I wasn't, I don't think I ever tried to use the visual selection functionality (which would open the command in vim). I'll let you do it, but I say we close this issue, pretend this whole ordeal never happened and move on with our (presumably busy) lives.

That's okay but for future wonderers, I don't think it's a issue about this project. I use Mac and iTerm terminal emulator respects visual selection differently than system terminal emulator which is showing exactly like others when text selected under this plugin.

I don't use this either. I think zsh's default visual mode enough to work with. It doesn't have different mapping group but whatever.

I found a solution for this.

Insert the following statement to your .zshrc.

zle_highlight=(region:bg=yellow)
