Zsh completion question

Zsh completion question

[Volodya Khomchak]

Hi,

I have very simple question about Zsh completion.
Situation is next, I have two commands:
    - moc
    - mocp

When I entered `moc` and pressed <TAB> zsh doesn't propose me to
select `moc` or `mocp` command,
instead of it space is added and now file list is shown as completion variants.

How can I fix it to set it in bash like mode ?

Thanks,
Volodya

I was able to reproduce this by setting the zstyle:

zstyle ':completion:*' accept-exact true

That style isn't 'true' by default.  If you set it intentionally, it 
sounds like you don't actually want it.  If something at the system 
level sets it up, you can override it by adding:

zstyle ':completion:*' accept-exact false

somewhere in your startup scripts (e.g. ~/.zshrc).

You can test that it's currently set by looking at the output of:

zstyle -L ':completion:*'

Ben: sorry; I just sent this email only to you while it was intended
for the list. Here it goes again.


I get the same behaviour. I don't set
zstyle ':completion:*' accept-exact true
anywhere I'm aware of. In fact, zstyle -L ':completion:*' does not
show this setting. And, when I set it to false, behaviour changes, so
it was this option indeed.

Check the output of

(setopt kshoptionprint; setopt | grep recexact)

The REC_EXACT option determines the default state of the accept-exact
style.

Or, equivalently: set -o | grep recexact

Thanks for pointing this out.  Seems much more likely.  I had only 
considered things in (roughly):

set -o | egrep 'comp|menu|list'

Looking at things in the completion section of `man zshoptions` would've 
been a better idea.

Yup, I had a line setting recexact (I took my initial .zshrc from
somewhere I can't recall now; I usually don't know which behaviours
are "optable" or not.)
I don't know about the OP, but this thread was really valuable to me.
Thanks,
Matias

I have a very simple question and hope it would be answered very quickly :)
