This once was intentional, when menu-select was intended as a menu-completion add-on. Now that it is more of a replacement we should probably change this. Since I don't use it that much, I'll have to ask: do all of you agree that it should be changed? If we change it we should probably give another widget a special meaning in menu-select so that we have one for the current behaviour and one for `leave menu-selection and accept the current match'. With that users could do a `bindkey -M menuselect ...' to get their prefered behavior. So: any suggestions for which widget we should use? (Remember that one couldn't use this widget to leave menu-select, then.) And what should be the default? > I also have problems with an aixterm where the next item on the left is > highlighted in addition to the one on the right in some circumstances. Hm. Never seen this, so I can't help here (we don't have AIXes here). Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
