Subject: Manual entry for compctl -M
Date: Tue, 02 Feb 1999 15:27:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9902021427.AA40220@ibmth.df.unipi.it> (raw)
I'm just trying to tidy up the zshcomptl manual page a bit, since it's
changed quite a lot (now I'll have to try and work the latest patch
in). The difficult bit is -M. In particular I don't understand what
is going on the partial completion example at all, nor can I get it to
work. The incantation given is:
compctl -M 'r:|[.,_-]=* r:|=*'
First, according to the description above this, it means that the
`line pattern' is blank and the anchor is one of the set in [...]. Is
that right? Wouldn't I need to ignore what's on the left? How does
that help me complete, say comp.sources.u<TAB> as a partial word? I
tried something like
% compctl -M 'r:[.,_-]|=* r:|=*' -k '(comp sources unix)' foo
% foo c.s.u<TAB>
but nothing happened. I can get the c on its own to work, as usual,
but nothing else.
