make zstyle ignore both _* and __* commands

make zstyle ignore both _* and __* commands

Hi,

I have this line in my config, that tells zsh to ignore `_*` commands on
completions:

zstyle ':completion:*:functions' ignored-patterns '_*'

It works well. But I'd like to tell zsh to also ignore `__*' commands

(double undescores)

Is there a way to do that?

thanks in advance.

It should already do that, for reasons I think ought to be
self-explanatory (famous last words, I know).  Have you found some case
where it doesn't?

omg, you are absolutely right. It should do already this because of the
regex.
I'm so ashamed of myself.

All right, I did found a case where this does not work.

if I type d_[tab] it shows this: http://imgur.com/ZSBZHvp (notice the
__fast_highlight...)

here's my full zsh config:
https://github.com/ninrod/dotfiles/tree/master/zsh
here's the completion relevant part:
https://github.com/ninrod/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/completions.zsh

again, here it is for completeness

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -u

zstyle ':completion:*' menu select
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' \
  'm:{a-z\-}={A-Z\_}' \
  'r:[^[:alpha:]]||[[:alpha:]]=** r:|=* m:{a-z\-}={A-Z\_}' \
  'r:[[:ascii:]]||[[:ascii:]]=** r:|=* m:{a-z\-}={A-Z\_}'

zstyle ':completion:*:functions' ignored-patterns '_*'

cheers,

Filipe

__fast_highlight doesn't occur in the zsh source tree, so that's in some
library you've got.  I would guess it's not being matched as a function
at all, otherwise it's no different from the other cases.  Maybe it's a
variable; you can complete those in command position for assignment
purposes.

You'll probably find it helps to have headers for different types of
match turned on for this sort of purpose --- try:

zstyle ':completion:*' format 'Completing %d'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''

Hi Peter, this is great, did not know about that.

Is there a way to insert a newline after the headers? I tried \n and \\n
but it did not render the expected result.

zstyle ':completion:*' format $'Completing %d\n'

You can use prompt coloring sequences there too, e.g., %B...%b for bold.
