kill-word removes whole line

kill-word removes whole line

[Jesper Holmberg]

I have a problem with alt-d (kill-word): it removes the whole line!

If I have this, with prompt at *:

foo * bar bar bar

and press alt-d, all three "bar" are removed from the command-line. I
would expect only the first to be removed.

All other "word actions" such as forward-word, and backward-kill-word,
work as I expect.

This is zsh 4.1.1 on Debian. I don't know if it matters, but I have these
lines in my .zshrc:

autoload -U select-word-style
select-word-style bash

TIA,

Jesper

The first thing I'd suspect is that you have a zstyle that is using a
more specific context than the ":zle:*" one set by select-word-style.
What do you find if you give the command

	zstyle -L

??

I don't think I understand how I could see if this is the case, but below,
you'll find the output of zstyle -L.

BTW, I use the new completion system.

I've done some more experimenting and reading, and now I think I
understand what to look for in the zstyle listing.

However, as you can see from my previous post, I have no more specific
zstyle set for the :zle: commands.

In fact, this really looks like a bug to me, since all other word
commands like:

forward-word-match, backward-word-match
backward-kill-word-match
transpose-words-match, capitalize-word-match
up-case-word-match, down-case-word-match

work as expected. For now, I have turned the lines

autoload -U select-word-style
select-word-style bash

off, and use the old bash-backward-kill-word and bash-backward-word until
this has been resolved.

That was a bug, fixed in zsh-workers 18824.  It'll be fixed when
I finally get a chance to produce 4.1.2.

OK, thanks. I'll wait for 4.1.2 then.
