Is there any straightforward way to make completion work when you're
inside braces. e.g. I'd like:
cp ~gjb/archive/{zsh.tgz,xterm[TAB]
to complete on
~gjb/archive/xterm
I realize the general case can be complex, but still seems tractable.
Can one do this w/o changing zsh source? Is it doable?
Thanks,
Greg

Not at the moment -- you simply can't do completion inside braces. I have some ideas for eventual extension of the completion mechanism that would make it possible, but they're a long way off. -zefram ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You can strip off the braces and then do completion, though ... bindkey -s '^X}' '}^I^H^I' Type ctrl-X close-brace and watch the fun. I admit that's probably not what's wanted in a lot of circumstances. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.nbn.com/people/lantern ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
