Subject: completion and .files
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 14:34:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199702231934.OAA07067@calum.csclub.uwaterloo.ca> (raw)
Whenever I create a complection that uses the -g option of compctl, I
lose the ability to handle .files the way I want, which is simply to say
the same way that zsh handles them normally.
Here's an example - compctl rule for cd. I start out with the
following:
Attempt #1:
compctl -g '*(-/x)' cd
Now "cd <TAB>" gives me the proper completions for all the directories.
However, "cd .foo<TAB>" gives me an empty completion list, because no
.files match the -g pattern that I give.
Attempt #2:
compctl -g '*(-/x)' -x 'S[.]' -g '.*(-/x)' -- cd
This fixes the original problem, but "cd ~/.foo<TAB>" fails once again.
Attempt #3:
compctl -g '(.|)*(-/x)' -- cd
This at least gets all the .directories; however 'cd <TAB>' lists all
my .directories as well.
What I'm basically looking for is to get at all the files that zsh would
have listed had I not used a compctl rule, and filter out any that are
not directories.
