Powershell hyphen argument color
You're looking for the Parameter
token kind:
Set-PSReadlineOption -TokenKind Parameter -ForegroundColor Red
The above will color parameter tokens (like -a
) red, but not bare string tokens prefixed with --
(like --All
), since they're technically not considered parameter tokens by the parser.
As Rabeez Riaz notes, in PSReadLine 2.0 the syntax is slightly different:
Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{ Parameter = 'Red' }
The new syntax allows you to set multiple token colors simultaneously:
Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{
Parameter = 'Red'
String = 'Cyan'
Command = 'Green'
}
What you are looking for is something like this:
Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{"Parameter"="#ff81f7"}
