Yes. And it does for me... i.e. the string doesn't just vanish,
neither with my setup nor with `zsh -f'. Could you...
A different question is whether menu-selection shouldn't exit when
a-a-i-n-h yields no matches. I've thinking about this for quite some
time, but couldn't find a good solution for what to do when this
happens.
Bye

bor@itsrm2% cd /opt/openFT/desktop/
Completing directory
TclTk/ desktop/ ft/ samples/ scripts/
(menu selection is active and current item is `desktop'); now I press
`/', that is bound to accept-and-infer-next-history
bor@itsrm2% cd /opt/openFT/desktop/
Completing `directory'
now press TAB
bor@itsrm2% cd
Completing `directory'
The reason is most probably permissions:
bor@itsrm2% l /opt/openFT/desktop
ls: Cannot access directory /opt/openFT/desktop: Permission denied
but should not Zsh handle it more gracefully?
