Hello,
I’m trying to better understand the completion system by building some primitive completions and seeing what they do. It seems to me _next_tags doesn’t cycle through tags as I’d expect and I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.
So I have this in a file named _zeke in my fpath:
#compdef zeke
local ret=1
_tags foo bar baz
while _tags; do
if _requested bar; then
compadd heres_bar
ret=0
fi
if _requested foo; then
compadd heres_foo
ret=0
fi
if _requested baz; then
compadd heres_baz
ret=0
fi
[[ $ret -eq 0 ]] && break
done
return ret
and in my shell I do
zstyle ':completion::complete:zeke::' tag-order foo bar baz
So, I would think that in my shell if I type “zeke” followed by a space, then ctrl-D to bring up a list of completions, then "ctrl-X n” to invoke _next_tags, it would cycle through “heres_foo”, “heres_bar”, and “heres_baz”. But I get no cycling. Instead all I get is the completion for “heres_foo” with no change when I press “ctrl-X n”.
Thanks for any help! —Omari
