Re: How to do filename completion with umlauts?

Hi Oliver,

thanks for helping me!

> Can you try just using a simple function like this:

> foo ä<tab>

Yep works.  After the TAB I get "foo Ä123".
Hm, so why doesn't it work with normal completion?

Do you see any problem with these lines in my setup maybe?

zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand_dots _complete _match _correct
zstyle ':completion::match:*' original yes
zstyle ':completion::match:*' insert-unambiguous true
zstyle ':completion::approximate:*' max-errors 2 numeric
zstyle ':completion::approximate:*' insert-unambiguous true
zstyle ':completion:*' ignore-parents parent pwd
zstyle ':incremental' completer _complete _correct
zstyle ':predict' completer _complete
zstyle ':completion:*:*:(^rm):*:*files' ignored-patterns '*?.(o|c~)' '*?~'
unsetopt rec_exact
zstyle ':completion:*:(cd|chdir|pushd|popd):*' special-dirs ..
zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' special-dirs ..
zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' special-dirs ..
zstyle ":completion:*" matcher-list 'm:{A-Zöäüa-zÖÄÜ}={a-zÖÄÜA-Zöäü}'
zstyle ':completion:*' squeeze-slashes true
zstyle ':completion:*' menu select=5
zstyle '*:matches' group 'yes'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*:*' group-order builtins functions aliases commands

Thanks so much,
 Andy.
