Subject: menu selection and enter key
Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2003 06:41:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY1-F126hivuAiXC9q0002f693@hotmail.com> (raw)
I'm configuring zsh for the first time and trying to understand the
features.
I find menu completion very useful, and I like seeing the list of candidates
below it. <tab><tab><tab> yes, that's the one I want<enter>, and it
executes.
Then I found menu *selection*, which let me see where I was as I tabbed thru
the candidates by highlighting where I am in the list, which is very
convenient. Unfortunately, when I reach the one I want and hit <enter>, it
no longer executes. Now it just inserts a space and sits there waiting for
me to enter more. I have to hit enter again to make it execute.
I like being able to see where I am on the list more than tabbing thru it
blindly, and I like being able to navigate particularly long lists by using
the arrow keys (very nice), but how do I get it to execute when I hit
<enter> the first time, just the way it does when I'm tabbing thru the list
without highlighting? If I want to enter two parameters -- which is the
minority of cases -- I should be able to just hit the spacebar and start
tabbing again the way I can when the "selection" highlighting is turned off,
I would think.
Can menu completion with selection turned on be made to execute on the first
tab like it can with selection turned off?
Thanks.
