Proprositions for a useful categorization of zsh options?

Proprositions for a useful categorization of zsh options?

[Thorsten Kampe]

Dear fellow zsh junkies,

I am trying to categorize the current 141 zsh options for obvious
reasons. Unfortunately zshoptions(1) is no big help as it is just
alphabetically sorted. The Users' guide gives some limited
suggestions.

So these are my categories[1]:

* Compatibility
* Completion
    * ambigious
    * displaying
* Globbing
* History
* Miscellaneous (the "no category category")
* Pushd/Popd


Any suggestions for improvements are welcome...

* option "foo" should be in category "bar" instead of category "baz"?

* other reasonable categories?

* superfluous categories?


Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

I don't know which extra category to add, but I think the
"Miscellaneous" category is too long. Perhaps it can be
shortened?

    That's cool and VERY useful :)

    Personally I would remove the last two ones. IMHO is enough with
'COMPLETION' category.

> # HISTORY

> cshjunkiehistory

    I would put this one in the COMPATIBILITY category. It is for csh
junkies, no?

> # MISCELLANEOUS

    Surely this one can be categorized itself. Some suggestions:

> autocd
> autonamedirs
> cdablevars

    I would change the name POPD/PUSHD of the last category to simply
'DIRS' and put those three there. A couple more could be moved to
that 'DIRS' category.

    In addition to this, a whole bunch of options present in
'MISCELLANEOUS' category could be moved to another category, meaning
'options related to zsh internals', although that would be very
ambiguous :(( Now the misc category is simply too big and almost
renders the categorization useless :(

    Anyway, it's a pretty good work! :)

Exactly - by putting "miscellaneous options" into existing or new
categories. The question is just, /where/ (as "miscellaneous" is just
an euphemism for "I don't have the slightest idea where to put it
else" :-))

Yes, "pushd/popd" is too specific compared to the the other ones who
are far more general..., but is "DIRS" the appropriate term? "Dealing
somehow with dirs" seems a bit vague to me...

> A couple more could be moved to that 'DIRS' category.

For instance?

Which options for instance?

My fight continues until the last miscellaneous option is categorised
elsewhere... ;-)!

I have the following folding titles in my ~/.zsh/.zshrc

+---  7 lines: 4.1. Parameters and Shell Functionality
+---  9 lines: 4.2. Changing Directories
+--- 11 lines: 4.3. Shell Completion
+---  9 lines: 4.4. Shell Expansion and Globbing
+--- 11 lines: 4.5. History and History Expansion
+---  7 lines: 4.6. Job Control
+---  6 lines: 4.7. Shell Prompt
+---  6 lines: 4.8. ZLE
+---  8 lines: 4.9. Input and Output

I guess a Compatibility heading would be useful as well (as you have),
but I don't have one as I don't use any of those options (I mean,
seriously, who wants sh or csh when you can have zsh?).

Well, I always read "dirs" as being short for the directory stack, and what
are push and pop, if not stack manipulation operations? "Changing
directories" is the better heading, though.

Are the options that belong to that titles top secret ;-)? If you
could enumerate the respective options it would be useful to us all
who are interested...

    Not at all. I have a gift to choose bad names O:))

    You're right. A better name should be added.

    Don't remember right now, I saw a couple. But before that, a
proper name and description (and rationale) for the category must be
chosen.

    I don't have your original mail at hand, but I was referring to
options like 'errexit'. I'm afraid I cannot explain better what I
have in mind, specially in English O:)

    I was meaning 'things that has to do with dirs'. Obviously, as I
told in my last message to Thorsten, it is not a good name O:)

Heh, sorry.  I once set every option in my ~/.zsh/.zshrc, but now I'm
keeping to only those options that differ from the default which
actually only come to 28 (if my quick count is correct).  That's a pretty
good job of setting decent defaults on your (i.e. the developers reading
this) side I must say.  Anyway, here's my setup (I've attached the whole
.zshrc for those interested):

Not so obvious to me, but ...

Based on some of this thread and my own prejudices, I'd organize them
as follows, with the caveat that nearly everything in the "Shell
Emulations" section also could belong in at least one other section,
and of course practically everything is for "interactive assistance"
but some things really aren't for anything else.  (I suppose you could
break them down into "convenience", "safety", and "accuracy" or some
such, but it didn't seem worth it.)

¡Hola!, Raul, and yeah, it's correct. I wouldn't worry about learning
Gaelic, though--it's one of the less useful European languages to have :-) .

I think Bart's answer did clear up most of the confusion about categories
--having no "miscellaneous" options is a good indication of that, IMHO.

    Bart, you're a fucking genius (no matter if this message ends up
censored...). I want to give thanks to Thorsten for having the great
idea of classifying the options and to you for such a good
categorization.

    This mailing list really amazes me... And Zsh, obviously, too.
I'm looking for things that cannot be done with Zsh, and I must admit
it doesn't make a good coffee XDDD

    Thanks, I mean it.

    But I really like Gaelic, I love the sound, the musicality,
etc. This summer, if I can afford the time, I would like to start
learning gaelic, seriously. Is a really beautiful language. Anyway I
love to learn languages, but I don't have the needed time :( I should
learn Català before... Well, this is OT O:)

    I really like the categories that Bart showed. I've saved the
message for future reference ;)

Did anyone come up with a final list of sections for documenting zsh
options?

Thanks, I have committed the new version of the file.

If there are other suggestions (probably on zsh-workers from now on),
please supply patches as needed.
