removing added completion space

removing added completion space

[zzapper]

Hi
Some time ago (Feb) I asked about a way to avoid the space added by 
completion which is such a nuisance when you need a 2 stage complete. SC 
provided a solution which I can no longer find but which went over my head.

any further thoughts?

Not sure who SC, but Oliver's response was to provide a patch for
_expand_alias which has now been added to the sources, so if you have
5.0.7 you should be able to make use of it.

zstyle ':completion:expand-alias-word:*' add-space false

The doc for the add-space style needs updating to mention
_expand_alias along with _prefix.

Wow thanks! I still have 5.0.6 (cygwin) waiting for 5.0.7

what is the naked config (zsh -f) to test this (please)
as it is not working for me?

Perhaps you could repeat the example case where it's not working?  It may
just be that I gave you the wrong zstyle context.

I most recently suggested:

	zstyle ':completion:expand-alias-word:*' add-space false

This applies to the _expand_alias binding (default ^Xa).  Oliver's change
to enable that style was in response to this example from you:

	alias -g NF='*~vssver.scc(.om[1])'
	ls NF<TAB>
	completes to
	ls *~vssver.scc(.om[1]) <- trailing space

With a *minimal* setup ("zsh -f" plus "compinit -D") I get no completion
at all for global aliases on a TAB, so you must have some configuration
to get as far as the above?
