The warning on "*" happens when it appears anywhere in the argument list
where "rm" is the command word. I mention this just in case what you
really want is a delay when the -r and -f options are used together.
The latter can easily be done with a function; the only magic part of
RM_STAR_WAIT is that it tests the command line before globbing has a
chance to expand the "*". Similarly a function can test whether any
of the arguments is $HOME without needing to know that it was expanded
from a tilde.
Here is such a function. I'm sure you can see how to tweak it to your
liking, e.g., it could detect -i/--interactive and skip the prompt, etc.
For those pedantic types who would point out that this might prompt as
a result of files named with a leading hyphen, I'll just note that the
scan done by the internal RM_STAR handling is no more sophisticated.
rm() {
integer i f r h
for ((i = 1; i <= ARGC; ++i)) do
if [[ $argv[i] = $HOME ]]
then ((h++))
elif [[ $argv[i] != --* ]]
then
[[ $argv[i] = -*r* ]] && ((r++))
[[ $argv[i] = -*f* ]] && ((f++))
else
[[ $argv[i] = --recursive ]] && ((r++))
[[ $argv[i] = --force ]] && ((f++))
fi
done
if (( r && f && h )) && [[ -o RM_STAR_WAIT ]]
then
print -u2 "zsh: sure you want to recursively delete $HOME ?"
print -u2 "(waiting ten seconds)"
sleep 10
read -q '? [y/n]?' || return 1
fi
command rm "$@"
}
