Put `zmodload zsh/compctl' in your `.zshrc'. Or better, use the new
completion system (autoloading and calling `compinit').


Ick. The problem is that in autoload_zleread() we do:

    if (load_module("zsh/zle"))
	load_module("zsh/compctl");

i.e., we attempt to load compctl only if loading zle succeeds. For
people who have a call to `bindkey' in their .z*, the zle module will
already be loaded, re-loading fails and compctl is not loaded. Bummer.

Can anyone think of a solution for this? I can't (apart from trying to 
load compctl unconditionally, which I don't like).

Bye
 Sven

Well, *I* do use the new completion system, but the one who found the
problem (tries zsh because I showed him what it can do) doesn't (yet?).

Uhm. Bad.

Is there a test whether or not a module is loaded?
Something like
   
    if (load_module("zsh/zle") || is_loaded_module("zsh/zle"))
       load_module("zsh/compctl");

If there is no such function (I don't have any insight in zsh's source)
perhaps now is the time to implement one :-)

Other possible solution: load zsh/compctl if there's a bindkey in .z* -
but that's of course not very intuitive.

Couldn't we also check whether ((trashzleptr == noop_function))?  If it is,
zle isn't loaded, and if it isn't, zle must be loaded or something very
weird has happened.  zlereadptr is even declared in both branches of the
#ifdef just above.

`zle -C' load zsh/complete.

Sounds good too...

I've no time to hack now...

Looks worth trying --- assuming (which I haven't checked) that something in
compinit loads complete, this is about the best you can do.  The only other
possibilitity I can see is to delay loading old completion until zle
actually starts up --- then if there's no new completion, it's safe to
assume old completion is required.  That might be quite sensible if it's
easy to implement.

Right, but what I would like to avoid is to load compctl whenever zle
is loaded. Otherwise anyone using the new completion system (which
loads zle indirectly) will have ol' compctl hanging around. And
_default will then try compctl's etc.

Hm, maybe a test of the form

  if (load(zle) || !loaded(complete)) load(compctl);

There's find_module() for that kind of test.

Does that sound sensible?

bindkey bug with zsh-3.1.6-dev-21?

[Thomas Köhler]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 825 bytes --]

Hi,
Seems that there's a problem with bindkey and zsh-3.1.6-dev-21 and
zsh-3.1.6-dev-22:

When I use this .zshrc:

  bindkey -e
  export EDITOR=vi

I get not tab-completion. If I type "bindkey", I get a long list of
bindkeys, amongst others this one:
"^I" expand-or-complete

So, the binding is there, but it just doesn't work :-(

The funny thing is, when I just have the "export EDITOR=vi" line in my
.zshrc and type "bindkey -e" on the prompt later, tab-completion works.
How to resolve the problem?

CU,
Thomas
