i think i didn't get your point before for example (fish 1.23.1-2) raphael@kikoolol ~> cd mo mobiles/ (Directory in .) moc/ (Directory in .) raphael@kikoolol ~> cd mo
i type mo to go to a directory, tab shows me which folders beginning with mo are available. Though the second tab does nothing, and i have to type the "c" or the "b" to go the folder wanted with my zsh completion (not the same as it was on video) i write : ─(16:38:%)── cd mo and if i hit tab it gives ─(16:38:%)── cd mobiles/ and if i hit again tab, it shows ─(16:38:%)── cd moc/ with one hit, maybe two, i go where i want to, instead of having to type a letter or more to have the same final behaviour i feel it saves me time, but maybe it's a question of habits raphael On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 4:06 PM, Martin Baehr <mba...@email.archlab.tuwien.ac.at> wrote: > On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 03:22:25PM +0200, raphael rsc wrote: >> >> the thing that irritates me with fish completion as it is >> >> (maybe my version is old) is like basic bash completion, if multiple >> >> choice happens, you have to type more to get the correct completion, >> > how do you have to type more? >> > having to hit tab many times to get to the right completion seems to be >> > a lot more typing that a few keys to reducethe selection. >> well, question of feeling and taste > > possibly, but i was asking for a quantifization. > you claim it is more typing, but i don't see how. > > i tried zsh and i can't figure out how the cycling through choices makes > me type less. i am very interested in using the shell more efficiently > so i'd like to understand how that works. not being familiar with zsh > maybe i am missing something. hence i'd appreciate if you can explain > how zsh makes you type less than fish for a particular case of > completions. > > 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
