Subject: Problem with Named Dirs & GNU Screen
Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 15:30:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D2F87398-B726-11D8-A6AC-000502631FBD@louisville.edu> (raw)
I've been trying to figure out the named dirs issue I wrote about
several weeks ago, but I'm still having problems. The situation is
this: I would like to create a named dir "palmfiles" expanding to
"~/Documents/Palm/Users/Aaron Davies/Files to Install". To this end, I
have in my .zprofile the following line:
export palmfiles=~/Documents/Palm/Users/Aaron\ Davies/Files\ to\ Install
and in my .zshrc:
setopt AUTO_NAME_DIRS
My goal, incidentally, is to have ~palmfiles expandable immediately
upon shell startup (ie, typing "~palm<TAB>" should work, not beep). In
this I am successful, as long as I'm in zsh directly. However, I prefer
to run all my consoles within GNU screen, and there it breaks down.
~palmfiles is still a valid named dir, but it will not expand until
it's been used once. I've tried the following: putting the setopt in my
zprofile, putting ": palmfiles" in my zprofile, putting ": palmfiles"
in my zshrc. None of them worked.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
