$curcontext in _subscript

$curcontext in _subscript

[Oliver Kiddle]

In my .zshrc, I have zstyle to define a tag-order of 'indexes parameters' for -subscript- because I don't want it to complete all variables after something like '$path['. This stopped working a while ago.

It seems that when _subscript is run, $curcontext is ':complete:-subscript-'. Why is 'completion' not in there as the first bit. As far as I can tell, 'complete' is put there by the complete completer.

What exactly should I be using as the parameters to zstyle to achieve this: it works with '*-subscript-*' but I'd prefer to use something more specific.

I hope you really mean `indexes' and -- in a separate word --
`parameters'. Otherwise this would mean they should both be tried
immediatly and together...

Because its given in the calls to zstyle.

Always remember that now the context names simply and cleanly always
have the fixed format: `:completion:<function>:<completer>:<command>:<arg>:<tag>'.
Where <command> may also be one of the special contexts. So, what you
want is:

  zstyle ':completion:*:*:-subscript-:*' tag-order indexes parameters

P.S.: But just being able to define such things is fun, isn't it?
