Hello Micah,

Thanks for sharing.

What can be fixed?  As you're top-posting, it is entirely unclear
to what statement of me or Michael you are responding -- I would
have to scroll down first, read *all* that is written there, and
then try to guess where your reply makes the most sense.  Don't
make me do that: post your replies inline.

I don't understand this.  But... seeing in your zsh.nanorc things
like "(\((\((\((\((\((\((\((\((\([^()]*\)|[...", my mind goes numb.
Indeed, *very* complicated.  I wouldn't call this a solution.  Things
must be more or less comprehensible, and typable, if they are to be
called a solution.

You mean your zsh.nanorc is so complicated, has such long regexes,
that it causes delays when scrolling through a zsh script?
