Subject: Completion of cd type functions?
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 98 13:18:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9810299096.AA909663631@smtp-gw.jeppesen.com> (raw)
Hi,
I just switched from tcsh to zsh.
In tcsh I frequently defined aliases to cd directly to various directories and
used completion to move further from these directories:
Example:
alias cxxsrc 'cd ~/development/source/cxx/\!*'
complete cxxsrc "p@1@D:$HOME/development/source/cxx@"
This way I can just type cxxsrc from anywhere and have it complete only with
directories in $HOME/development/source/cxx.
Can I do this somehow in zsh (simply)? This seems pretty basic (it isn't even a
FAQ) but I can't figure it out. I got it to sort of work using a function that
invokes "find" but it is deadly slow.
As far as I understand it I create a function:
cxxsrc() { cd $HOME/development/source/cxx/$* }
but the completion part eludes me.
Unfortunately the lete2ctl script fails when I try to run it so I can't get all
my nifty tcsh completions translated automatically.
Thanks
