OK, thanks for explaining! For what it’s worth, you can probably accomplish this already by injecting ANSI color escape sequences directly into your format strings. For example, this works for me in zsh:
$ beet ls -f $fg[red]'$artist'$fg[white]' - '$fg[green]'$title’ You could also sort out how to concoct the right strings to put in your YAML config. If you still think built-in support would be better, please do file a feature request on GitHub with full details! (For example, we’d need a design for how to specify colors and for how to handle the case when output is not for a terminal.) > On Mar 25, 2017, at 2:32 AM, Bearcat Şándor <[email protected]> wrote: > > Or at least green, orange and yellow according to your terminal settings. > > > On Fri, Mar 24, 2017, 23:54 Bearcat Şándor <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, say when you do a 'beet ls Beatles' you might want the artist in green, > the title in orange and the track time in yellow.
