Subject: How to get faster completion if I make zsh assume what I've typed so far is correct?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 11:26:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4060651D.4020107@acm.org> (raw)
Why does zsh have to glob every directory along a pathname in order to
find completions within the final directory? For example, take this case:
/one/two/three/four <TAB>
If I set -x, the output after hitting TAB shows zsh retrieves all the
subdirectories within one, two, three and four. I would like zsh to
only bother globbing in four to find the files that I'm looking for--it
should assume that whatever I've currently typed is correct and it ONLY
needs to look in four--there is no need for it to know anything about
the contents of one, two or three. Is there a style setting or an
option that I can use to do that? If two, three and four are NFS, it
can often slow down completion a lot--particularly if there are a lot of
files in them.
