 * `back-double-quoted-argument` -  back double quoted arguments (\x inside "")
 * `back-dollar-quoted-argument` -  back dollar quoted arguments (\x inside $'')
 * `assign` - variable assignments
+* `redirection` - redirection operators (`<`, `>`, etc)
 * `default` - parts of the buffer that do not match anything
 
 To override one of those styles, change its entry in `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES`, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
