This is useful on systems where this form of completion is pathologically slow due to network performance. +With the MULTIBYTE option, the line editor now highlights bytes in the +input that are not part of a valid character in the current locale in hex +as <XX> for hex digits X; highlighting is controlled by the "special" +keyword in the zle_highlight array. These can be distinguished from +unprintable Unicode characters which also use "special" highlighting as the +latter are always two or four bytes long, e.g. <XXXX>, <XXXXXXXX>. + +The line editor now sets the variable ZLE_LINE_ABORTED if there is +an error when editing the line. The following code can be used +to create a bindable editor widget to restore the aborted line: + recover-line() { LBUFFER=$ZLE_LINE_ABORTED RBUFFER=; } + zle -N recover-line + +The parameter ZLE_STATE, available in user-defined line editor widgets, +gives information on the state of the line editor. Currently this is +whether the line editor is in insert or overwrite mode. + +There is now a function system for recording and restoring recently +entered directories. See the entry for cdr in the zshcontrib manual page. + +The (D) flag use in parameter expansion abbreviates directories in the +substituted value. The (q-) flag does minimal shell quotation of arguments +for maximum human readability of the result. + +The new shell option SOURCE_TRACE causes the shell to report files +containing shell code that the shell executes directly, i.e. startup files +or files run with the `source' or `.' builtins. + +The shell option SUN_KEYBOARD_HACK has been supplemented by a more general +mechanism: the KEYBOARD_HACK variable defines the character to be ignored. + +The new shell option POSIX_CD, active in emulations of POSIX-based shells, +makes the cd builtin POSIX-compatible. + +The shell option MONITOR can be set in non-interactive shells, and also in +subshells (as created by surrounding commands with parentheses), turning on +job control for that subshell. The initial behaviour of a subshell is +still to turn job control off, however if the new POSIX_JOBS option is set +MONITOR remains active in subshells. + +Regular expression matches now use the same variables for storing matched +components as shell pattern matching. The function system now provides +the function regexp-replace for replacing text using regular expressions. +The zle widgets replace-string, replace-string-again, if defined with regex +in the name (e.g. "zle -N replace-regexp replace-string"), perform regular +expression matches. In replacement text \& and \1 have the standard +meaning. Changes between versions 4.3.9 and 4.3.10 ----------------------------------------- |
