Subject: parse errors and up-line-or-history
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 15:35:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200010171935.PAA14828@soup.ql.org> (raw)


If you type

zsh% for in *; do echo $i; done

(instead of for i in *...; i.e., forget the variable name in the for)

you get 

zsh: parse error near `do'

which seems entirely reasonable.  If you then do ^p to fix it, you see
only

zsh% for in *; do

and not the whole command.  It would be nice if the whole command
including whatever part appears after the parse error got inserted
into history since it would be much easier to go back and fix the
typo. :-)
