Is Completion-Aware Syntax Highlighting Possible?

  Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

  

I've been playing around with zsh's syntax highlighting to prettify my zsh setup and I was wondering whether it's possible to make the syntax highlighting aware of existing completion semantics of the particular command one is about to invoke at the moment of typing.

  Additional completion definitions for Zsh.

  

I should add that I also use zsh-completions, which fixes the issue with unknown tokens from zsh-syntax-highlighting in all but rare cases for me.

  Discontinued (Short name F-Sy-H). Syntax-highlighting for Zshell – fine granularity, number of features and multiple shipped themes.

  

I use https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting which highlights git --version differently than git --asdf. AFAIK it uses the completions to "know" what options are valid.

Alright. So it doesn't work for every command but for some the plugin is treating specifically. But then there is this hack https://github.com/Valodim/zsh-capture-completion which captures completion values. So maybe this could be used to generate more functions.
