It's easy to get -X to substitute a variable, too, } when it has a $ in front, but maybe it would be preferable to have } double-quoted expansion instead? My suggestion had been that -X would stay as it is, but -Y would do the double-quote expansion. I'd pick some other letter for alteration of the listing ... what else is not taken yet? h, i, M, t, V, W, and y. Good grief, that means there are 44 options to compctl right now (45 if you count Peter's -Y), plus all the pattern-matching tags for -x. Eek. Anyway, I guess I'd go with -Y and one of -y or -W for what we're talking about now. Doesn't really matter which means which. Or you could do all three; use -y and -Y like -k and -K, except for modifying the listing, and use -W as an expanding -X. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
