Here's something I've been wondering about - can I get zsh to perform menu
completion of glob patterns that match exactly the end of a string?
For example:
% zsh -f
% setopt glob_complete noalwayslastprompt noautolist
% ls
file.10 file.11 file.20 file.21
% vi file*1<^D>
file.11 file.21
% vi file*1<TAB>
-> % vi file.11
I'm thinking this would be like glob_complete:
GLOB_COMPLETE
When the current word has a glob pattern, do not insert
all the words resulting from the expansion but generate
matches as for completion and cycle through them like
MENU_COMPLETE. The matches are generated as if a `*' is
added to the end of the word or inserted at the cursor
if COMPLETE_IN_WORD is set. Since this doesn't use
globbing, it works not only for files but for all com-
pletions, such as options, user names, etc.
but _without_ the trailing '*'?
