ack colored output issue

[nakamuray]

zaw uses $POSTDISPLAY to display candidates. And it seems that zsh automatically escape non-printable characters in the variable.

Although we can use $region_highlight to colorize regions in POSTDISPLAY, that mean we should parse escape sequences and convert it to $region_highlight which, I think, is too hard to implement as a zsh script.

Or, did you open this issue as a bug report?
In my environment, ack doesn't output escape sequences.

I fixed it with --nocolor option

         HISTNO="${histno}"
         read-from-minibuffer "ack --group "
         ret=$?
     }

     if [[ "${ret}" == 0 ]]; then
-        ack --group "${(Q@)${(z)REPLY}}" | \
+        ack --group --nocolor "${(Q@)${(z)REPLY}}" | \
             while read f; do
                 while read line; do
                     if [[ -z "${line}" ]]; then
                         break
                     fi
                     candidates+="${f}"

Thanks.
