Yes, this (plus the several followups) is quite good. The only thing more I could wish for is that TAB would move down the columns in menu selection, rather than across, so that you don't get equivalent options offered consecutively. But that's such a minor thing that it's likely not worth expending effort. } If you try it, you'll see that this now behaves slightly different when } completion options with and without groups in menu selection. In the } first case, only the matches are highlighted, in the latter case the } whole lines are highlighted. Having seen it both ways (thanks to that typo in _describe) I think this is just fine. My only other suggestion at this point would be to change the default separator from `--' to one of `-', `=', or `:', but as it's configurable that is again an exceptionally minor issue. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
