That is very nice. The functionality is exactly what
I had in mind. Once again, I'm very impressed with
Zsh! :)
One note about the user interface of this
"interactive" menu completion mode: Why have a
'vi-insert' key binding at all? I don't see any
reason for it. IMHO "interactive" mode should be able
to be toggled on or off permanently (maybe throuth
styles).
cheers.
