In some respects, yes. The first style above now means "color yellow those words beginning with `a' any time hosts are listed among the completions." Previously it meant "... only when hosts are listed in the completion group named `hosts'." The issue of course being that what one would rather have is "color yellow those *hosts* beginning with `a' ...", but completion can't differentiate what is a host except by what group it is in. It's much easier now to see (in _setup) what you meant when you discussed looking up the style by group name rather than by tag name. Anyway, I think this new situation is easier to document, and makes more sense than the old way when the tag name is wildcarded. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
