Matching in completion again

Matching in completion again

[Andrej Borsenkow]

I'm not sure if the following is correct ... anyway I have the feeling it
behaved differently once. May be, I just wished it behaved differently :)

bor@itsrm2% l /to/sh/zsh/-TAB
bor@itsrm2% l /tools/share/zsh/site-functions/
bor@itsrm2% l /tools/share/zsh/
3.1.9-dev-5/     3.1.9-dev-6/     3.1.9-dev-7/     3.1.9-dev-8/
site-functions/

The question is, why completion shows one match only.

bor@itsrm2% zstyle -L
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _oldlist _complete _match
zstyle ':completion:*:warnings' format 'No matches for: %d'
zstyle ':completion:*' format '%BCompleting %d%b'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*' insert-unambiguous true
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ''
zstyle ':completion:*' list-prompt '%SAt %p: Hit TAB for more, or the
character to insert%s'
zstyle ':completion:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}
r:|[._-]=* r:|=*' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z} r:|[.-]=** r:|=**'
zstyle ':completion:*' menu 'select=long-list' 'select=0'
zstyle ':completion:*' verbose true
zstyle :compinstall filename /home/bor/.zcompletion
zstyle ':completion:*:*:configure:*' tag-order 'options:-with:with\ options
options:-other:other\ options' 'options:-without:without\ options'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-with' ignored-patterns '^--with-*'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-without' ignored-patterns '^--without-*'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-other' ignored-patterns '--with(|out)-*'
zstyle ':completion:*' ambiguous true
zstyle ':completion:*' list-rows-first true
zstyle ':completion:*:processes' command '
        if (($EUID && !${+NUMERIC})); then
            ps -fu $EUID
        else
            ps -fe
        fi
'

Sorry, of course it is correct. I tend to forget I have r:|[._-]=* r:|=* in
matchers.

I have the feeling, you reported something similar some time ago, and
got almost the same answer you'll get now ;-)

Because it first tries this match spec:

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With single `*'s, so it can't match parts containing anchor characters 
and `3.1.9' and `dev-?' both contain two/one of the anchor characters.
