Keyword highlighting
Keyword highlighting colorizes matching text as it scrolls past in the terminal, so
the things you care about jump out — error and warn lines, interface names, or
any pattern you define.
Open the highlight editor
Section titled “Open the highlight editor”Settings → Appearance & Display → Customize keywords… opens the highlight editor. Add rules there, each matching some text and colorizing it.
Typical rules:
- Status keywords like
error,fail,warn,up,down. - Interface or device names (e.g.
Gi0/0,eth1). - Any pattern specific to the output you watch.
Theme-aware colors
Section titled “Theme-aware colors”Highlight colors follow the active theme rather than being fixed values, so they stay legible when you switch palettes — a color chosen against a dark theme won’t wash out on a light one.
It travels with your theme
Section titled “It travels with your theme”Your highlighting scheme is included in a theme export bundle, so sharing a theme shares your highlights too. See Import & export themes.
