zstyle for function instead of command?

zstyle for function instead of command?

[sam reckoner]

I have defined the following function:

v () {
        '/cygdrive/c/Vim/vim71/gvim.exe' $* &
}

I can do

% zstyle ':completion:*:*:gvim:*:*' file-patterns '*.py' '*.*'

and get gvim to complete first on *.py files, but it doesn't work with
the function. In other words,

% v <TAB>
Does not restrict completions to *.py files, even if they are there.

I have tried doing
% zstyle ':completion:*:*:v:*:*' file-patterns '*.py' '*.*'

but that doesn't work either.

Little help?

That certainly should work, and does for me on linux.

What do you get from

% v <ctrl-x>h

and how does it differ from what you get from

% gvim <ctrl-x>h

??

For the record, it turns out I had

compctl -g '*(^/)' + v

in my legacy .zshrc file which was screwing things up. Once I removed
that everything worked normally.

Thanks again for your help debugging this.

That's extremely suspicious.  You should get some kind of output for
anything, e.g., the default fallback for completion should produce

tags in context :completion::complete:v::
    globbed-files  (_files _default (eval))

What do you get if the word in command position is an entirely non-
existent command, that is, neither a .exe nor a function nor an alias?
Does it matter whether that word is a single character long, or longer?

Do you have autocd set and is there a directory named "v" somewhere
in your cdpath?  I'm sort of grabbing straws here.  You don't have a
v: drive, do you?

Unfortunately I don't have a cygwin environment in which to fool with
this, and as 4.3.9 is out now it might be better if you can reproduce
the problem with that rather than 4.3.4.

When I do

% gvim ^Xh

I get

tags in context :completion::complete:gvim::
    argument-rest options  (_arguments _vim)
tags in context :completion::complete:gvim:argument-rest:
    all-files  (_files _vim_files _arguments _vim)


But when I try the same w/

% v ^Xh

I get nothing.
