With 4.3.0-dev-5 it got even worse. This is all on a local disk (high bandwidth, low latency SATA), though of course the effect is magnified over NFS. Any plans to implement case-insensitive matching natively? -- Karl 2006-03-01 01:13 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Could you see if there was a good reason for that? The docs have this example: To alter the default behaviour of file completion -- offer files matching a pattern and directories on the first attempt, then all files -- to offer only matching files on the first attempt, then directories, and finally all files: zstyle ':completion:*' file-patterns \ '%p:globbed-files' '*(-/):directories' '*:all-files' This works even where there is no special pattern: _files matches all files using the pattern `*' at the first step and stops when it sees this pattern. Note also it will never try a pattern more than once for a single completion attempt. } If it is just for efficency it should perhaps be removed. It appears to be done that way to intentionally short-circuit the process exactly when %p is '*', so that (in the example above) no redundant group 'directories' is created when both files and directories are already in the globbed-files group. The correct behavior (which may be very tough to implement) would seem to be to check the entire list of tags against the matcher style before the loop begins, and bail at '*' only if there are no tags left with matchers. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
