When _alternative separates the options?

When _alternative separates the options?

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hello,
when writing:

https://github.com/psprint/zunit/blob/zunit-completion/_zunit

I've had a problem: the options given to _alternative were merged
together, i.e. it was looking like this:

zunit options
zunit command
--allow-risky      -- Supress warnings generated for risky tests
init  -- Bootstrap zunit in a new project
...

instead of:

zunit options
--allow-risky      -- Supress warnings generated for risky tests
...
zunit command
init  -- Bootstrap zunit in a new project
...

However, the problem resolved itself when I've separated the options
from the form:

"--help,-h":"Output help text and exit"

to the form:

"--help":"Output help text and exit"
"-h":"Output help text and exit"

in the array. I would now like to separate the directories and plugins
in the following _alternative call:

https://github.com/zdharma/zplugin/blob/208092/_zplugin#L90

How to do this?

zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''

(or ':completion:*:*:zunit:*' or whatever is appropriate)

Thanks, it works for separating the files and directories, however not
for separating the results added with compadd:

_alternative 'snippets:downloaded snippets:compadd -a - snippets' \
     'snippets:already loaded snippets:compadd -a - snippets_alreadyld' \
     'files:file:_files' && \
         ret=1

The "downloaded snippets" and "already loaded snippets" will be
merged. Is there a way to separate those?

Try giving them a different tag. Otherwise they will end up in the same
group. So something like:

  _alternative \
    'downloaded-snippets:downloaded snippet:compadd -a - snippets' \
    'already-loaded-snippets:already loaded snippet:compadd -a - snippets_alreadyld'
    ...

As an aside, the normal zsh convention is plural form for the tags and
singular for the group descriptions.
