a question about argument corrections

a question about argument corrections

[Wataru Kagawa]

Hi all,

I find the 'correctall' option to be useful in most cases, except for  
the case described below.

zsh% ls
foo1 foo2 foo3
zsh% cp foo3 foo4
zsh: correct 'foo4' to 'foo3'? [nyae] n

The same thing happens for the mv command.

zsh% mv foo3 foo4
zsh: correct 'foo4' to 'foo3'? [nyae] n

I wouldn't want to be asked for the correction as long as foo4  
doesn't exist.  Is there a way to customize this so that only the  
first file is checked when the command is cp or mv?

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Try to turn off spelling correction for a single command, e.g.
alias mv='nocorrect mv'

Thanks for the suggestion.
That takes care of the second file, but how can I still allow  
spelling corrections to work for the first file?  For example,

zsh% ls
foo1 foo2 foo3
zsh% mv fo3 foo4

I would like zsh to ask if 'fo3' should be corrected to 'foo3'.

Thanks.
