Maybe I'll play with that a little. Though I was sort of under the
impression that the completion system could only complete a single word
at time, and not sets of words, like a previous command line would be.
I've sort of fancied the idea that zsh might have a completer for sets
of commandline args/flags at once. For example, with the tar command it
would be possible to complete standard sets of flags that I use (e.g.
xzf, czf, xvf, etc.), which is possible since the flags are together as
a single word. But what if I had a command that only has long options
that I wanted to complete all at once as a group ( for example for
GNU tar "--extract --gzip --file archive" , "--create --gzip --file
archive", etc.) Can the completion system handle that?
Thanks very much, Bart, for your help with the h-i-s-b, it works just like I
want.
