With the following completion function:
_danek() {
_arguments \
"--zoo-name" \
"--zipple-zoo-name"
}
and running under zsh -f with only
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit -i
compdef _danek danek
if I type "danek --z<TAB>", I end up with "danek --z-name", with the cursor
on the dash between "z" and "name". If I hit tab again, I end up with
"danek --zoo-name ", with the cursor after the final space. If I setopt
menucomplete, I get reasonable behavior.
What have I done wrong with the completion function?
Thanks,
Danek

(Everywhere below, I'm marking the cursor position with '|')
Nothing. Zsh is completing the entirety of the unambiguous portions.
All of the possible completions in that context:
'--zoo-name' and '--zipple-zoo-name'
begin with: '--z'
and end with: '-name'
So, zsh completes as much as possible.
I'm also interested in a way to disable this behavior, but looking at
all of the instances of 'suffix' and 'ambiguous' in anything remotely
completion-related in zshall didn't turn up what style to set/unset (if
such a style exists).
In my case, the place this bothers me is with _mysql and the
--default-character-set, --defaults-file, and --defaults-extra-file
settings:
mysql --def|<Tab>
mysql --default|- # makes sense
mysql --defaults|<Tab>- # add the 's'
mysql --defaults|<Tab>-file # okay, now everything starts w/ '--defaults' and ends w/ '-file'
mysql --defaults-file=| # but, tab again gets me --defaults-file, even though it was still ambiguous with --defaults-extra-file
Might be some way in which my styles are set up (accept-exact
somewhere?). But, I'm still getting my feet wet with zstyle.
