title: To get colors to Less in Ubuntu's Zsh
body: <p><strong>How can you get similar highlightings to Zsh's Less than Bash's Less in Ubuntu?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I switched from OS X to Ubuntu. My Less do not work as expected in Zsh.</p>
  
  <p>Manuals in my Less are green and black with or without the following code.</p>
  
  <pre><code> # comment these out in Ubuntu
   export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'         # begin blinking
   export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'        # end mode
  
   export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'        # end standout-mode
   export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;246m' # begin standout-mode - info box
   export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'        # end underline
  
   export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[04;33;146m'    # begin underline is now yellow
   #                             |  |  |
   #                             |  |----------------- yellow
   #                             |-------------------- underline
  
   # to have the indication of cursor's location and line numbers, and R
   export LESS="-mNR"
   #               |--------- only ASCII color
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code makes manuals readable in OS X, but it does not work for Ubuntu in Zsh.</p>
  
  <p>Ubuntu has excellent highlightings in Bash's Less. My manuals have the colors yellow, green and black in Bash without my code. Both Zsh and Bash use the same Less at <code>/usr/bin/less</code>. This suggests me that Ubuntu's Bash has some dot-files which configure it somewhere.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Where are highlightings for Ubuntu's Less in Bash?</strong></p>
