Some configuration key to use menu-select instead of menu-complete > transparently ... Switching on menu-select instead of menu-complete: no. This was at least half-intentional because menu-select takes over control completely. You can, however, go from normal menu completion to menu-select and back again (if you have it bound to a key). And of course you can use menu-select as one of the styles to use for the new completion system (after loading collist). Doing this with an option or configuration key is currently not possible because zle/comp1/compctl don't know about collist. And I would like to have some more feedback before I start thinking about ways to support this. Ok? Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
