Subject: multibyte implementation (for filename completion with umlauts)
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 12:14:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920101403.unp6epfpqllzzqov@spiegl.de> (raw)
Another question from the past: :-)
Back in 2011 we found that a filename with umlauts (öäü) can't be completed
case insensitively because zsh can't handle multibyte characters correctly
because it's a pretty complex issue:
http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2011/msg00015.html
Ever since then I live with it more or less happily. All I could find
today in the docs is a TODO entry:
* support for multibyte characters, including UTF-8
So I suppose the multibyte problem in the completion code is still there, right?
Actually, all I'd like to achieve is case insensitivity for umlauts like that:
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{A-ZÄÖÜa-zäöü}={a-zäöüA-ZÄÖÜ}
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Andy
