I was just trying out this completion while using ssh over my dialup PPP link, and I have to say that the screen refresh behavior of the menu- selection display is absolutely appalling. It redraws the entire listing every time you move to a new selection -- which, on a mid-speed link with a completion listing that fills a 64-line xterm, means a full second or more every time you press a cursor key. "zed -f" on a long function, by contrast, works about as well as any editor, except on scrolling of very long lines. Also, I found a bug, but I'm not sure how to give instructions to repeat it. When I got to the end of the (two screenfuls of) pine options and pressed down-arrow, which normally cycles back to the top of the column, the selection instead moved up exactly one line. Down-arrow would just cycle between those two choices thereafter. Aside: It'd be really nice of beginning-of-buffer/end-of-buffer worked in menu-selection. It'd be even nicer if searching worked. -- 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
