vim wildmenus is doing that too, and i find a bit irritiating mostly because it invites me to be lazy and just hit tab multiple times instead of thinking and typing the correct keys. the point of completion for me is to reduce typing. for that i need to see a list of options and then the ability to type a few keys, as little as possible and then hit tab to get an exact match. however, zsh completion does not prevent that (i initially thought it would, but i just tested it), the same sequence of keys: ls /li[tab]m[tab][tab]38[tab]k[tab]dr[tab] to reach /lib/modules/2.6.38.8-4-fl.smp.gcc4.4.x86.i686/kernel/drivers/ works in fish, bash, vim wildmenues, and zsh what i find hard to get used to however is that when i have found the right entry by navigating through the list of options i have to type some key before i can hit tab again to get the next list of the subdirectory. perhaps arrow keys or pgup/pgdown can be used to cycle through the entries? also, if i hit tab to many times, it will fill in a word that i have to delete if i didn't want it... one nice feature of wildmenues (that zsh doesn't seem to have) is the ability to type any part of a word and then find a match. thus given a list like: acpi clocksource firmware infiniband memstick nfc rtc usb ata cpufreq gpio input message of scsi uwb atm crypto gpu isdn mfd parport ssb vhost auxdisplay dca hid leds misc pci staging video block dma hwmon lguest mmc pcmcia target virtio bluetooth edac i2c md mtd platform tty w1 char firewire ieee802154 media net pps uio watchdog i can type dog and it will complete to watchdog greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china societyserver.(org|net) foresight developer community.gotpike.org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin (open-steam|www.caudium).org realss.com Martin Bähr http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
