Comments are black on black by default!

[d9k]

highlighters/main/main-highlighter.zsh:

${ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[comment]:=fg=black,bold

Comments are black on black by default what is unreadable! Had to fix it with

ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[comment]='fg=magenta,dimmed'

I use xfce4-terminal, having "bright black" color on my palette

but setting Show bold text in bright colors is not enabled, there must be some another modifier than bold to make color bright

I got it to be set to bright black using
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[comment]="fg=8"

It seams as "fg=black,bold" does not show the color black bright, but instead shows the color black.

and zsh-syntax-highlighting does not accept the word bright, I am not sure, but I believe this may be related to I think zsh doesn't normally use the word bright in its color scheme, and I think zsh-syntax-highlighting uses the official color format names. Please correct me if I am wrong here. Having access to these bright colors sounds a bit important for syntax highlighting, so I guess I wish that zsh-syntax-highlighting would make its own translation to translate the keyword bright to the colors 8 through 15, but that might be a lot of work, so we can always use the numbers of the colors.

The show bold text in bright colors might work as a workaround, using bold for bright colors is not very good. It means that no software can use bold fonts, since bold now has no well defined meaning. Also different terminal emulators might act differently
