Message-ID: <20040601014014.GA1918@iup.edu> Mail-Followup-To: zsh-workers@sunsite.dk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i From: Jason McCarty X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 on a.mx.sunsite.dk X-Spam-Level: * X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.6 required=6.0 tests=RCVD_IN_RFCI,RCVD_IN_SORBS autolearn=no version=2.63 X-Spam-Hits: 1.6 Is it possible with _arguments or some other way to have options that can be completed, but aren't displayed on the screen as possible completions? I'd like something like _arguments \ '(-o)--output[save output in DIR]:DIR:_files -/' \ '(--output)-o:DIR:_files -/' but where -o doesn't clutter the screen. I know that zsh 4.2 would display -o nicely beside --output if I gave it the same explanation, but I'd like to support 4.0 as well. Any suggestions? -- Jason McCarty
