Subject: Why does _main_complete not try the next completer when $_comp_mesg is non-zero?
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2021 19:33:09 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHLkEDt+5xiu62fLb2Gp9gQOh9Q_o8+-He64fooMMxPceon4vA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The following line in _main_complete
[[ -n "$_comp_mesg" ]] && break
has the effect that, whenever _message has been called (with only few
exceptions), the next completer won't be tried, _even when
$compstate[nmatches] is zero._
Why? What is the reason for this?
And is there a convenient way to work around this behavior? I want
_history to be tried when _complete fails, but this behavior often
prevents it. For example, if I try `grep \t`, then I get only the
message `pattern`, whereas I would like to get history words.
And if there is not an easy workaround, would you accept a patch from
me that changes this?
