Subject: Tab-completion inside dir named with braces (brace_ccl)
Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 15:51:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060709135107.GA2753@parhelion.globnix.org> (raw)
Hi,
The zsh options brace_ccl doesn't appear to play nicely with expansion
under the new completion system. Zsh 4.3.2.
zsh -f
setopt brace_ccl
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit -u
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete
Mozilla Firefox puts extensions inside sub-directories of
~/.mozilla/firefox/<random>.<profname>/extensions/ and many of those
directories are named "{"<UUID>"}".
If I try to tab-complete the directory name, that succeeds, using the
appropriate backslash escaping. But if I try to tab-complete a name
such as "install.rdf" inside that, then the backslashes are escaped
again and the braces are treated to brace expansion. If I use '{1A
instead of \{1A then the brace expansion still happens.
So given '{1A2D0EC4-75F5-4c91-89C4-3656F6E44B68}' and tab-completing
twice, I can see either:
% vi \\-/i \\0/i \\1/i \\2/i \\3/i \\4/i \\5/i \\6/i \\7/i \\8/i \\9/i \\A/i \\B/i \\C/i \\D/i \\E/i \\F/i \\/i \\c/i
% vi '-/i 0/i 1/i 2/i 3/i 4/i 5/i 6/i 7/i 8/i 9/i A/i B/i C/i D/i E/i F/i c/i
I know, I'm explicitly putting expansion first (and I don't remember
why) but I think that zsh probably shouldn't be ignoring its own
escaping.
Is this a bug or expected behaviour?
Thanks,
