Subject: Safety check before expanding globs?
To: zsh-users@zsh.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all,

I regularly use

 quux /foo/bar/*<tab>

to expand all files, do some modifications and then hit enter. Is
there any way to have zsh ask for confirmation (or require two tabs)
before expanding said list? Alternatively, is there a way to undo the
expansion?


Thanks,
Richard
