Subject: replacing current word in user-defined widget?
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 18:41:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010606184150.A23107@thelonious.new.ox.ac.uk> (raw)

I was trying to write a make-path-absolute type of widget that
replaces the pathname which is the current word with an absolute path,
but I got stuck trying to write code which figures out where the
current word starts and ends.  Presumably it involves looking at
$BUFFER and $CURSOR, and maybe doing word splitting with ${(z)BUFFER}
or similar, but beyond that I don't have much of a clue :-)
Completion widgets seem to have it a lot easier, since they're given
the $words array to mess around with.

Any suggestions?
