I've been uploading the style-guide and the _arguments documentation
to my brain, and improved versions are on the way. _arguments is
great! However a few things perplex me:
- Why can't you have multiple MESSAGE:ACTION pairs with the
*:MESSAGE:ACTION form? I'm having to resort to using an auxiliary
function, e.g.:
_perldoc {
_arguments -s \
'-h:help:' \
'(-q)-f:Perl built-in function:_perl_builtin_funcs' \
'(-f)-q:Perl FAQ keyword:' \
'*:Perl pod pages:_perl_pods'
}
_perl_pods {
local nm="$compstate[nmatches]"
_perl_modules
_perl_basepods
_path_files -J "Perl modules and .pods" -/ -g '*.(pod|pm)'
[[ nm -ne compstate[nmatches] ]]
}
- Is it possible to do something like (-foo)*:MESSAGE:ACTION, i.e.
specifying completion for normal args only if -foo hasn't been
specified?

<rofl> I hadn't thought of that :-D
