I still haven't successfully got 3.1.6-pws-* simulating
dabbrev-expand. I'm using:
_history_complete_word () {
local expl
compstate[list]=
compstate[insert]=menu
_description -V expl 'history word'
# compgen "$expl[@]" -Q -H 0 ''
compgen -V 'history words' -Q -H 0 ''
}
zle -C _reverse_history_complete_word reverse-menu-complete _history_complete_word
bindkey '^[,' _reverse_history_complete_word
(I previously tried bindkey '^[,' reverse-menu-complete, but the
problem isn't with the reversing; see below)
It appears to always work fine when grabbing words from history added
by the current shell, but either doesn't work at all, or very
unreliably when you want to grab a word from the saved history. This
is driving me up the wall, because dabbrev-expand is one of the
features I use most! I'd be very grateful if someone can show what
I'm doing wrong.

P.S. Sorry for the pathetically lame preexec post. I've read the
manual over so many times, I was /sure/ that I would have noticed a
preexec feature if it had existed. Serves me right for not checking :-(

% history 1 | grep ' /' | wc -l
650
% zle -l | grep hist
_history_complete_word -C .complete-word _history_complete_word
_reverse_history_complete_word -C reverse-menu-complete _history_complete_word
% _history_complete_word () {
local expl
compstate[list]=list
compstate[insert]=menu
_description -V expl 'history word'
compgen -V 'history words' -Q -H 0 ''
}
% bindkey ^[/
"^[/" _history_complete_word
% less /<>
% less /usr/share/zsh/functions/_man
zsh: do you wish to see all 51 possibilities?
Where did all the others go? For example, a very old entry in my
history (I save large histories):
114 cp /share/software/redhat/updates-6.0/i386/netscape-* .
but when I try do
% ls /s<meta-/>
nothing happens. The newer entries work fine. This problem has
exhibited itself in exactly the same way across zsh-3.1.6-pws-* :-(

% setopt | grep hist
cshjunkiehistory
extendedhistory
histallowclobber
histexpiredupsfirst
histignorealldups
