The colored cat replacement

bat

  • while going through fzf trying to find out what controls the line highlight color on search, I found that it’s actually bat that defines what color it is. Bat is also used internally by fzf to color output in the preview box, so I wanted to get solarized set up there. This was more hassle than it was worth. I’ve given it a proper templates directory, and the highlight color is in the .tmTheme file used by bat, but I couldn’t get the transparency that I wanted.
