Subject: Time for an obscure completion question
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 00:49:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1000411004941.ZM31329@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
Given the completion styles (straight out of compinstall except for moving
the _ignored completer):
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _oldlist _expand _complete _match _ignored _approximate _prefix
zstyle ':completion:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=*' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z} r:|[._-,]=* r:|=*' 'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=* l:|=*'
zstyle ':completion:*' max-errors 2 numeric
zstyle ':completion:*' original true
If I have a directory named "foodatthe/Bar" (to borrow from PWS) and I type:
zsh% cd *at/ba<TAB>
I'm offered the two completions
foodatthe/ *at/ba
This is apparently what I asked for, but it's not what I want. I want the
"original" as considered by _approximate to be the output (for lack of a
better word) of _expand _complete _match. That is, if there's exactly one
possible expansion of the part with the pattern, then I want that accepted
so that the menu becomes:
foodatthe/Bar foodatthe/ba
Ignoring that for the moment ... if I type
zsh% cd *at/ba<C-x h>
i.e., invoke completion help, I see a set of contexts and then the possible
completions at the end. So far so good, but now if I hit TAB the argument
gets erased and I'm left with
zsh% cd
^ cursor here
A similar thing happens here:
zsh% cd *at/ba<TAB><C-e><TAB><TAB><TAB>
zsh% cd
^cursor
The first TAB gives "foodatthe/ba" and lists two completions; I hit C-e to
break out of menu completion (is there a better way?) and TAB again which
gives me the correction "foodatthe/Bar/" and again lists two completions.
Hit TAB again and there's a feep; hit TAB a third time and the argument
vanishes, replaced by a space. I would have expected it to just keep on
feeping at me for as long as I bang on tab.
