Subject: Completion of paths with filename generation or brace expansion involved
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:15:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFOazAN06Adpnxe4Zt7ZdFg4NLcjsZ3om870rVJyWPHWr_rP5w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Let's consider this filesystem:
/foo/bar/fish
/foo/bar/zoo
/foo/bar/zsh
/foo/baz/zsh
When I type:
$ /foo/ba{r,z}/z<tab>
then thanks to brace expansion, my buffer is replaced with:
$ /foo/bar/z /foo/baz/z
Similarly, when I type:
$ /foo/ba(r|z)/<tab>
then thanks to filename generation, my buffer is replaced with:
$ /foo/bar/ /foo/baz/
Also, if instead of <tab>, I hit <shift>+<tab>, I get a menu which
allows me to choose between possible expansions / generations and the
original expression.
What I would like to know, is if there's a way to have completion at
this point, without modifying the part of the buffer that I've already
typed. In other words, is it possible, when I type:
$ /foo/ba{r,z}/z<somekey>
$ /foo/ba(r|z)/<somekey>
to have my buffer *not* changed, but get suggestions for files that are:
1) either in /foo/bar *or* /foo/baz
2) both in /foo/bar *and* /foo/baz
?
For case 1), I'd expect the buffer to be changed to:
$ /foo/ba{r,z}/z
file
zoo zsh
after non-modifying brace expansion, or
$ /foo/ba(r|z)/
file
fish zoo zsh
after non-modifying filename generation.
For case 2), I'd expect the buffer to be changed to:
$ /foo/ba{r,z}/zsh
after non-modifying brace expansion, or
$ /foo/ba(r|z)/zsh
after non-modifying filename generation.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
