problem with context specification
Hello, I am trying to define a style for a completion command different
from the more general style, but I am failing to override the style for
this specific command.
I have this declaration:
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z}' 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z}
r:|[._-]=* r:|=*' 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z} l:|=* r:|=*'
that is how I would like general completion to work in regard to he
matcher-list style
For the episodes command I would like to override this style, and set it to:
zstyle ':completion:*:*:episodes:*:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z} l:|=*
r:|=*'
but this doesn't seem to match when i try completion pressing tab after the
episodes command.
if I substitute this as the general case, eg:
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z} l:|=* r:|=*'
then everything get this style, so the syntax is correct. it seem that what
is wrong is the pattern.
I tried some variations of it, with no success:
zstyle ':completion:*:*:episodes:*' ...
zstyle ':completion:*:episodes:*' ...
my main problem is that I don't really understand the pattern syntax, and
haven't been able to find a man page detailing it (the documentation on the
zstyle builtin doesn't explain it), so I basically try random variations.
Using ctrl-x h after episodes on the command line it gives:
tags in context :completion::complete:episodes::
argument-rest (_arguments _episodes)
so I've tried:
zstyle ' :completion::complete:episodes::'
but still to no effect, and also the lack of * seems a little suspicious
any help on this is appreciated, thanks
