Subject: Completing within colon separated paths
Date: 14 Mar 2001 15:45:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3ofv4icbk.fsf@kontiki.cam.eu.citrix.com> (raw)
[ ZSH_VERSION is 4.0.1-pre-2 ]
Is there a way to have TAB complete '/usr/local' from the X (marking cursor
position) in the following:
$ .:/home/jsc/bin:/usr/locX:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin
Using expand-or-complete-prefix mimics temporary insertion of a space at the
cursor position, but it seems the colon at the start of the path component
prevents the recognition for filename completion. I've tried dabbling with
WORDCHARS, but suspect this is not the right approach...
Interestingly, when I use `vared PATH', expand-or-complete-prefix does actually
complete path components. So what needs to be done to have the same behavior
when editing PATH "directly" on the cmd line (i.e., without `vared')?
[`vared' might not always be the way to go, e.g., when passing -classpath, plus
several other args, to a JVM.]
Thanks,
--- John
