I'm confused, too, because it works for me... maybe some missing patch of those that have appeared after dev-18. Btw, when I wrote _matcher I was tempted to change _main_complete to allow it to give arguments to completers, taken from the style, as in zstyle ... completer '_matcher m:{a-z}={A-Z}' _complete ... Or maybe make _main_complete just eval the things and let the global match specs be stored in a user visible parameter: zstyle ... completer matcher='m:{a-z}={A-Z}' _complete ... Dunno if any of this would be better (it may be hard to decide what to do with styles and what to do with arguments/other means). Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
