Options are not set

Options are not set

[Thorsten Haude]

Hi,

I try to set a number of options in my .zshrc, some of which are not
set. I can't find anything amiss with the way I try to set them, so
I'm confused.

- - - Schnipp - - -
setopt pushd_to_home		#	pushd w/o arguments cds to $HOME
setopt pushd_silent			#	don't print directory stack on pushd/popd
setopt auto_pushd			#	cd pushs dir into stack
DIRSTACKSIZE=20				#	number of dir stack entries

setopt cdable_vars			#	look for named directories on cd
setopt auto_list			#	automatically list ambiguous completions
setopt auto_param_slash		#	append / on directories

setopt hist_ignore_all_dups	#	do not enter duplicates into history
setopt append_history		#	append, don't overwrite history
setopt inc_append_history   #   append incrementally, not on exit

setopt long_list_jobs		#	list jobs in long format
setopt auto_resume			#	single word resumption of existing jobs

setopt rec_exact			#	recognize exact matches even if ambiguous
- - - Schnapp - - -

- - - Schnipp - - -

autopushd
autoresume
cdablevars
histignorealldups
interactive
longlistjobs

pushdsilent
pushdtohome
recexact

zle
- - - Schnapp - - -

These are missing:

setopt auto_param_slash		#	append / on directories
setopt append_history		#	append, don't overwrite history
setopt inc_append_history   #   append incrementally, not on exit

What am I missing?

just out of curiostiy, does your version of zsh support these options?

what does 'echo $ZSH_VERSION' say?

    from the manual:

    When listing options (by `setopt', `unsetopt', `set -o' or `set
    +o'), those turned on by default appear in the list prefixed with
    `no'. Hence (unless KSH_OPTION_PRINT is set), `setopt' shows all
    options whose settings are changed from the default.

    check the missing options in the manual, they're on by default.

Sorry, that means that my information is lacking.

However, that also means that something else is wrong, which I even
have a harder time seeing. The options are not set, at least I get not
the results I expect.
- No history is written
- If I want to start a program in subdir 'source' and enter
	sour<tab>
I get
	source _
not the
	source/_
I expect.
- auto_list seems to work, I was not thouroug enough here.

I browsed in zshoptions for anything related to directories and the
history, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your time!

Did you set the HISTSIZE and SAVEHIST variables?

That's because there's a built-in command named "source", so zsh assumes
that's what you mean.

No, $SAVEHIST is not set.
$HISTFILE was also missing.

I must say I'm surprised that these are not set by default.

Duh! I never use source, I always try to call source/nedit, and I
seldom try to call anything else this way.
Yes, that works alright too for any other directories.

Thanks for your help!

if you really want to use that feature for the directory 'source' and
don't use the 'source' builtin ever, you could probably put:
disable source

in your .zshrc

aura% disable source                                   
aura% type source
source not found
aura% mkdir source
aura% source
aura% pwd
/home/william/source
aura% enable source
aura% type source
source is a shell builtin

if you really wanted to get fancy, you could probably write a small
function to call the builtin source but only if an argument is given.

Now I even read the FAQ. Apologies for wasting your time.
