zsh 4.3.10-test-3

zsh 4.3.10-test-3

[Peter Stephenson]

I've uploaded a test versions of zsh:

ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/development/zsh-4.3.10-test-3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/development/zsh-4.3.10-test-3-doc.tar.gz

If this seems not to be broken I'll turn it into 4.3.11, either early
next week or early in the new year if there turns out to be more to do.

I will then attempt to promote it to 4.4.0 shortly thereafter.  The
minor oddities to do with completion that need fixing aren't that
important and aren't likely to happen quickly.

Hi,

I just updated my Git repository and built the 4.3.10-test-3 tag
on my Debian Lenny. I got a weird change when using the
completion system.

When I press tab and it suggests a directory the trailing / is
drawn in bold, but only the / and nothing else which I find very
distracting. This happens with zsh -f as well.

It looks like this is a new change in 4.3.11 (the suffix option
in zsh_highlight) and I find it very confusing. Could the default
get changed back to the old behaviour with causes no highlight
(in bold)?

Thanks to Mikachu in #zsh I got a solution to disable it:

    zle_highlight=(suffix:none)

The man page gives the following solution to disable the
highlighting:

    zle_highlight=(none)

But this doesn't work and the bold / is still displayed.

Thanks,
Simon

I think the suffix highlighting makes a nice default, since it helps to show
people that the character is nebulous, and may disappear.  Many people who
are new to zsh get surprised by the automatic trimming of a visible slash,
and having an easy way for someone to see that that slash is going to
disappear (or not disappear) when return is pressed is a good thing, in my
opinion.

Yes, the intention that anyone worried by that sort of thing is likely
to be able to do what Mikael suggested to turn off everything, so the
fix should be good enough.
