Anyone knows if it's possible to color command line commands as you type them (kind of like an editor)?

Fish shell

You can change the used shell in the configs. At least for Alacritty, when I used it (dont care, it was still kinda broken, I just use Konsole)

Interesting, I never heard of setting your shell in the emulator config. I just used ‘chsh’ once when I setup the install.

Powershell does this on Windows. May also work on Linux?

I think there’s a zsh script that does this as well but I can’t remember the name of it.

What you are looking for is called Syntax Highlight. Are you asking this for the terminal? I think this is a property of the shell. Fish has it builtin and for ZSH, there is a plugin: github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting I don’t know if its possible with Bash.

Closest thing for bash would be https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh.

Yes, I am looking for a syntax highlighter for the terminal. The one I use is called Kitty.
