That's exactly the answer to my anguish. Strange, I don't remember recexact being set by default on any version of zsh... Is it perhaps the doing of your Linux distribution, in some file like /etc/z*, /etc/profile.d/*, or something? I've been sending bug reports to Redhat on almost every one of their releases asking them to remove weird settings that they put in files like /etc/zshrc which override's Zsh's standard defaults and confuse people who read the manual. In Redhat 7.2, for example, they put "bindkey -e" in /etc/zshrc. This is useless because emacs mode is the default mode anyway - but ruins the vi default for people who set VISUAL=vi (as explained in the zsh manual). After I reported this "bug", they said they'll remove this setting in the next release. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Nov 8 2001, 22 Heshvan 5762 nyh@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |From the Linux getopt(3) manpage: "BUGS: http://nadav.harel.org.il |This manpage is confusing."
