Subject: --help able programs and completion
X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i
Hi all,
I would like to have _all_ programs that have `--help'
to be completed with the right "--words".
Any idea how i could achieve that?
Of course i don't want to let the already existing completion
system for many programs to be overridden.
Only if there is _no_ completion there should ZSH take the --help
approach.
Ps: this new completion system could be a big win if it had
easy to understand dialog-like boxes which one could use to
choose styles and tags and so on. :)
At least for me it is much too difficult in the present state.
I know that i can do almost anything with it but it still takes
a lot of my time to understand it. :(
