Integrating zaje into ble.sh

[jessp01]

Hello maintainers,

First of all, excellent project:)

zaje is a syntax highlighter that aims to cover all your shell colouring needs. It can act as an ad-hoc replacement for cat and, with a spot of one-line shell functions tail and other friends. I thought you might be interested in integrating it into ble.sh.

You can see it in action here:

it's also capable of of extracting text from an image:

I'm happy to submit a pull request is this is of interest.

Cheers,

Are there any problems with enabling zaje in a ble.sh session? The reason that fzf and zoxide need integrations is that they cause problems when enabled in a ble.sh session. Presumably, a Bash configuration is supposed to work the same as in normal Bash sessions, so you can just run . /etc/profile.d/zaje in a ble.sh session the same as in a plain Bash.

Hi @akinomyoga ,

There's no problem whatsoever:) I've been working with both for a while now. What I meant is that perhaps you'd be interested in installing zaje as part of the installation of ble.sh.

Thanks for your reply and the suggestion. I'm afraid to say that I currently wouldn't be interested in bundling it as a part of the ble.sh installation. Ble is not a package manager, but one independent Bash configuration/plugin. Ble aims to provide fundamental parts of the shell interactivity that are hard to achieve without modifying the line editor or the shell itself. The features zaje aims at seem to be the ones that can actually be implemented without modifying the core part of ble.sh.

Indeed, no need to change ble.sh at all. Like I said, I've been using both in tandem for some time now.
I just thought it would be handy for users to have out of the box as I feel it compliments ble.sh.
Of course, it's your call and I respect your decision.

Cheers,
