Subject: `expand' style with prefix and matchers
Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2001 14:37:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11493.1002634622@csr.com> (raw)
I hadn't noticed this until about yesterday, but I suspect the ingredient I
didn't have before is that it needs a special matcher.
If I have
zstyle ':completion:*' expand suffix
then
~/bc01/t/h-b-12-p
expands to
~/bc01/test/hci-branch-12-patches
(I haven't bothered showing the matcher spec since it obviously works.)
If I have
zstyle ':completion:*' expand prefix suffix
however, I get the list
Completing file
bc01/test/h-b-12-p bc01/testsclk/h-b-12-p bc01/traces/h-b-12-p
Neither of the other two directories contain a match for h-b-12-p.
It looks like overeagerness to apply the `prefix' style even if there is
actually only one possible match --- I would guess it's applying it before
it's done the stuff with matchers.
Probably the worst aspect is that the same problem shows up with
~/bc01/test/h-b-12-p, because the first part matches testsclk, which is a
bit obscure since it doesn't obviously have anything to do with multiple
paths. In this version, I can tickle the bug without the `suffix' part of
the expand style.
