Uh, if I remember correctly, completion in assignments is hard-wired
for compctl.

Use the new completion system and:

  _value:PROJECT() { _files -g '*.mak(:r)' -S ' ' }

or, if it accepts colon-separated lists of such files:

  _value:PROJECT() { compset -P '*:'; _files -g '*.mak(:r)' -qS: }

Completion for variable assigement

[Bernd Eggink]

I'd like to have completion for assignements to a variable. So that,
for example, 

    PROJECT=<TAB>
    
will allow me to cycle through all file names in the current directory
ending with '.mak' (without the suffix). I succeeded in doing this only
by wrapping the assignement in a function 'setp':

    function projects
    {
        reply=(*.mak) 2>/dev/null
        reply=(${reply%.mak})
    }

    function setp
    {
        PROJECT=$1
    }

    compctl -K projects setp

Is there any way to avoid the wrapper function?

Regards,
Bernd
