Should > we? OK, I suppose the manual is saying it works if menu completion is started afterwards, but not if it's already in effect. Since the `suffix' behaviour is selectable completely separately from anything else, I can't think of a good reason why the setting shouldn't simply be respected. If you don't want it with menu completion you can simply not turn it on. Tying settings together is really another problem entirely. If we want some more general way of grouping --- set a whole load of styles all together - we can probably write a function suite that does it, e.g. % zselect -v my_menu_styles Turning on option `menuselect' Changing style `expand' from `prefix suffix' to `prefix' However, it's not that trivial when you take contexts into account (compinstall has basically side-stepped this issue and while it handles contexts, you have to select them by hand). -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
