I am reviving this question from a few months ago. I have asked this
question on stack exchange, and didn't get any answers. I am really
hoping someone here can help me out.
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/35483/zsh-host-name-completion-behaviour-change
I have been using ZSH to do host name completion, and want to change
the default behaviour. When I have multiple hosts with similar names,
the completion does stuff that I don't care for. An example is best:
Let's say I have these hosts:
host01.stage.example.com
host02.stage.example.com
host01.prod.example.com
host02.prod.example.com
now, in my prompt, I will type:
$ ssh hos<tab>
zsh will show me:
$ ssh host..example.com
with the cursor right after "host" and shows me a menu with the host
names in it. I like the menu showing me hostnames, I just don't want
it to complete everything. Weird things happen. Most of the time I tab
through and either have to delete host names or have extra stuff on
the line i have to delete.
A preferred way would be to not complete the rest of the hostname.
something like:
$ ssh hos<tab>
zsh would hopefully show me:
$ ssh host
host01.stage.example.com host01.prod.example.com
host02.stage.example.com host02.prod.example.com
I have also noticed when i start putting in host names like:
host-server01.stg.example.com
host-server01.prod.example.com
and I do my "ssh host<tab>", it will take me to the subdomain first.
All i really want is this to complete like normal completion, and not
dance around on me. Any thoughts?
