This + saves you having to expand the middle part of the path separately. sect(How do I get started with programmable completion?) label(45) - Finally, the hairiest part of completion. It is possible to get zsh - to consider different completions not only for different commands, - but for different words of the same command, or even to look at - other words on the command line (for example, if the last word was a - particular flag) and decide then. - - There are really two sorts of things to worry about. The simpler is - alternative completion: that just means zsh will try one - alternative, and only if there are no possible completions try the - next. For example - verb( - compctl -g '*.ps' + -f lpr - ) - says that after lpr you'd prefer to find only mytt(.ps) files, so if - there are any, only those are used, but if there aren't any, any - old file is a possibility. You can also have a tt(+) with no flags - after it, which tells zsh that it's to treat the command like any - other if nothing was found. That's only really useful if your - default completion is fancy, i.e. you have done something with - mytt(compctl -D) to tell zsh how commands which aren't specially handled - are to have their arguments completed. - - The second sort is the hard one. Following a mytt(-x), zsh expects that - the next thing will be some completion code, which is a single - letter followed by an argument in square brackets. For example - mytt(p[1]): mytt(p) is for position, and the argument tells it to look at - position 1; that says that this completion only applies to the word - immediately after the command. You can also say mytt(p[1,3]) which says - the completion only applies to the word if it's between the first - and third words, inclusive, after the command, and so on. See the - list in the `compctl' manual entry for a list of these conditions: - some conditions take one argument in the square brackets, some two. - Usually, negative numeric arguments count backwards from the end - (for example, mytt(p[-1]) applies to the last word on the line). - - (Note the difference in the ways mytt(+) and mytt(-x) work. A mytt(+) - completion will always try and find completions for what's before - the mytt(+) first; it will only produce a list for what's after if - the first list was empty. On the other hand, if a condition for a - mytt(-x) matches, the appropriate set of completions is always used, - even if the list of completions produced is empty.) - - The condition is then followed by the flags as usual (as in link(4.2)(42)), - and possibly other condition/flag sets following a single -; the - whole lot ends with a double -- before the command name. In other - words, each extended completion section looks like this: - verb( - -x <pattern> <flags>... [ - <pattern> <flags>... ...] -- - ) - - Let's look at rcp again: this assumes you've set up tt($hosts) as above. - This uses the mytt(n[<n>,<string>]) flag, which tells zsh to look for - the tt(<n>)'th occurrence of <string> in the word, ignoring anything up - to and including that. We'll use it for completing the bits of - rcp's mytt(user@host:file) combination. (Of course, the file name is on - the local machine, not mytt(host), but let's ignore that; it may still - be useful.) - COMMENT(-- note space after backslash --) - verb( - compctl -k hosts -S ':' + -f -x 'n[1,:]' -f - \ - 'n[1,@]' -k hosts -S ':' -- rcp - ) - This means: (1) try and complete a hostname (the bit before the - mytt(+)), if successful add a mytt(:) (tt(-S) for suffix); (2) if that fails - move on to try the code after the mytt(+): look and see if there is a - mytt(:) in a word (the mytt(n[1,:])); if there is, complete filenames - (tt(-f)) after the first of them; (3) otherwise look for an mytt(@) and - complete hostnames after the first of them (the mytt(n[1,@])), adding a - mytt(:) if successful; (4) if all else fails use the mytt(-f) before the - mytt(-x) and try to complete files. - - So the rules for order are (1) try anything before a mytt(+) before - anything after it (2) try the conditions after a tt(-x) in order until - one succeeds (3) use the default flags before the tt(-x) if none of the - conditions was true. - - Different conditions can also be combined. There are three levels - of this (in decreasing order of precedence): - enumerate( - myeit() multiple square brackets after a single condition give - alternatives: for example, mytt(s[foo][bar]) says apply the - completion if the word begins with mytt(foo) or mytt(bar), - myeit() spaces between conditions mean both must match: for example, - mytt(p[1] s[-]) says this completion only applies for the first word - after the command and only if it begins with a mytt(-), - myeit() commas between conditions mean either can match: for example, - mytt(c[-1,-f], s[-f]) means either the previous word (-1 relative to - the current one) is tt(-f), or the current word begins with tt(-f) --- - useful to use the same completion whether or not the tt(-f) has a - space after it. - ) - You must be careful to put the whole expression inside quotation - marks, so that it appears as a single argument to tt(compctl). - - Here's a useless example just to show a general mytt(-x) completion. - verb( - compctl -f -x 'c[-1,-u][-1,-U] p[2], s[-u]' -u - \ - 'c[-1,-j]' -P % -j -- foobar - ) - The way to read this is: for command mytt(foobar), look and see if (((the - word before the current one is tt(-u)) or (the word before the current - one is tt(-U))) and (the current word is 2)) or (the current word begins - with tt(-u)); if so, try to complete user names. If the word before - the current one is tt(-j), insert the prefix mytt(%) before the current word - if it's not there already and complete job names. Otherwise, just - complete file names. - - -sect(And if programmable completion isn't good enough?) - - ...then your last resort is to write a shell function to do it for - you. By combining the mytt(-U) and mytt(-K func) flags you can get - almost unlimited power. The mytt(-U) tells zsh that whatever the - completion produces is to be used, even if it doesn't fit what's - there already (so that gets deleted when the completion is - inserted). The mytt(-K func) tells zsh a function name. The - function is passed the part of the word already typed, and can read - the rest of the line with mytt(read -c). It can return a set of - completions via the mytt(reply) array, and this becomes the set of - possible completions. The best way to understand this is to look at - mytt(multicomp) and other functions supplied with the zsh - distribution. Almost certainly, however, you are better off using - the new completion system for anything complicated. No further - upgrades are planned for the old system. + The main resource is the tt(zshcompsys) manual page. It's complicated, + I'm afraid, far too much to go into here. See also the user guide + referred to above, or copy one of the very many existing functions. For + a professionally produced guide, see the book `From Bash to Z Shell: + Conquering the Command Line' by Oliver Kiddle, Jerry Peek and Peter + Stephenson (me), published by Apress, ISBN 1-59059-376-6. Chapter 10 + tells you how to configure the completion system and chapter 15 how + to write your own completion functions. + + +sect(Suppose I want to complete all files during a special completion?) + + If you're using the completion system the shell will decide what + to complete when you hit TAB. That's usually the right thing for + the context, but sometimes you just want to complete files, like + TAB used to do in the old days. You can set up this up as follows: + verb( + zle -C complete-file complete-word _generic + zstyle ':completion:complete-file::::' completer _files + bindkey '^xF' complete-file + ) + This turns the key tt(\C-x F) into a command tt(complete-file) which + goes straight to the completion system's file completion command, + ignoring the normal context. Change the binding how you like. + + Note the way the form of completion to use is specified by picking a + `completer' called `tt(_files)'. You can define any completion + to be bound to a keystroke by putting the appropriate completion + function at that point. Then change all occurrences of + `tt(complete-file)' to a name of your own. + + If you simply want to try filename completion as a default when other + completions fail, add it to the `tt(completer)' style for normal + completion, for example: + verb( + zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _ignored _files + ) + This adds filename completion to the end of the default types of + completion.
