2 newbie ?s

[David Thiel]

Hi all,

I'm giving zsh a try after using tcsh for most of my life, and I'm having a
pretty good time with it so far.  2 things - how would I make it so I could
type in ssh dthiel@red (tab) and have it complete to ssh
dthiel@redundancy.redundancy.org, or if I type in ping deepthought.red (tab)
and have it complete in the same way?  Also, does anyone know how to get the
mailchecking functional with Maildir format mailboxes?

Thanks much,
David

Yeah, I have something similar, but it won't complete the hostname if you
have something directly before it, like dthiel@blablabla.com.  If you just
ping bla(tab), it'll work.  That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks,
David

I use:

zstyle ':completion:*:hosts' hosts $hosts

Where $hosts holds the list of hostnames I want to use.
That seems to work perfectly with ssh alan@os<tab> and suchlike.

Or how about this one:

zstyle -e ':completion:*:ssh:*' hosts 'reply=($(sed -e "/^#/d" -e "s/
.*\$//" -e "s/,/ /g" /etc/ssh_known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts
~/.ssh/known_hosts2 2>/dev/null))'

In that spirit:

    zstyle -e ':completion:*:ssh:*' hosts 'reply=(
	${=${${(f)"$(cat {/etc/,{/etc/ssh_,~/.ssh/}known_}hosts(|2)(N) \
			 <<(ypcat hosts 2>/dev/null))"}%%[# ]*}//,/ }
	)'

That might actually be a bit *too* thorough ...

} I agree with the sentiment, though you're discarding all the hostname
} information from /etc/hosts.

Ah, true.

    zstyle -e ':completion:*:ssh:*' hosts 'reply=(
	${=${${(f)"$(cat {/etc/ssh_,~/.ssh/known_}hosts(|2)(N) \
			 /dev/null)"}%%[# ]*}//,/ }
	${=${(f)"$(cat /etc/hosts(|)(N) <<(ypcat hosts 2>/dev/null))"}%%\#*}
	)'

I hate having to throw that /dev/null in there to keep `cat' from reading
stdin; one of those cases where I wish there were a glob-flag for turning
on csh_null_glob.  It's also annoying that $(<...) doesn't do filename
expansion or generation, which is why it has to use `cat' to begin with.
