Subject: filename cycling according to age, not name
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 15:38:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86isd9xj1b.fsf@rumba.de.uu.net> (raw)
Normally, I'm happy with the normal filename completion behavior of
zsh. (After I've customized it to my liking.) But from time to
time, I would like to say "give me the newest file under the foo
directory".
Is there a way to do this?
The ideal would be that I enter a partial filename (say "foo/") and
then hit a key, and it inserts the newest file in that directory
("foo/x"), and then I hit the key again and it replaces the filename
with the second-youngest ("foo/a"). Right now, the TAB key does
something similar, but it sorts by filename, not by age.
Right now, I have a function which does { ls -lt "$@" | head -15; }
and then I copy and paste, but I'm sure it can be done in a more
convenient manner.
Kai
