Subject: How to make tab add quotes on expansion?
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2003 01:00:12 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200310250100.12757.hisham@apple2.com> (raw)
Hello zsh users and developers,
I am a developer of the GoboLinux distribution (http://www.gobolinux.org)
which is, AFAIK, the only Linux distro where zsh is the default shell. I
prepared a custom default zshrc, suited for the distro's needs (featuring
case insensitive matching, because of our verbose names, such as
/Programs/XFree86/Settings and other niceties) and all users seem to love
it... zsh gets lots of praise in the GoboLinux mailing list!
There is one thing, however, that I could not find out how to configure:
I'd like to have tab-completion to add double quotes to words when the
completed word has spaces in it (instead of having it add a backslash on each
space). So that it would do this:
hisham@aria ~] mpg123 01<TAB>
hisham@aria ~] mpg123 "01 - Tom Sawyer.mp3"
instead of
hisham@aria ~] mpg123 01<TAB>
hisham@aria ~] mpg123 01\ -\ Tom\ Sawyer.mp3
I know there's probably something simple I am missing, but I read the man
pages, the FAQs and mailing list archives and haven't found out yet.
Thanks in advance,
