Subject: Explanation for no completion candidates.
Date: 27 Oct 1998 10:50:46 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <rsqemrueps9.fsf@crane.jaist.ac.jp> (raw)

Hi. I found that zsh 3.1.4 does not output a explanation given with
"-X" for compctl when there is no completion candidates.

% compctl -X explanation tst
% tst<Tab>

zsh-3.0.5 prints "explanation"
zsh-3.1.4 prints nothing

I think following patch fix this.

However, zsh-3.0.5 and zsh-3.1.4 has different behavior on "-X". So
this patch does not provide perfect compatibility between 3.05 and
3.1.4.

% compctl -X ex1 + -X ex2 tst
% tst<Tab>

zsh-3.0.5 prints "ex1"
zsh-3.1.4 with this patch prints "ex2"
