Hi Bart, hi list members!
:)
I see, I have to learn A LOT more about zsh!
Ok, I "killed" cdpath and now my <TAB> does not report "everything
ever seen" anymore.
I included the first zstyle in my .$HOME/zshrc and got after entering
cd <TAB>
the additonal information, saying:
Completing local directory
which is exactly what I want to have (currently, for the first... ;)
An addtional I have:
Suppose your are here:
$HOME/ThisDir/AnotherDir
and in ./AnotherDir there is another dir called "WhereIWantToBe"
Now I enter
cd <TAB>
Does zsh think that there is no match since I didn't enter
cd Whe<TAB>
thus preferring to show me possibilities for completions from the
path-directories OR does zsh "see" the one and only directoy
"WhereIWantToBe" and gives me
cd WhereIWantToBe
right after hitting <TAB>?
Thanks a lot for all the friendly help !
Keep hacking!
