Highlighter-independent settings
--------------------------------
By default, all command lines are highlighted. However, it is possible to
prevent command lines longer than a fixed number of characters from being
highlighted by setting the variable `${ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MAXLENGTH}` to the maximum
length (in characters) of command lines to be highlighter. This is useful when
editing very long comand lines (for example, with the [`fned`][fned] utility
function). Example:
[fned]: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/User-Contributions.html#index-zed
```zsh
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MAXLENGTH=512
```
