Isn't that a different issue? One can't have too much control.On the other had we have plenty of people requesting that completions offer either more, or more contextually specific, matches.
Pardon? How do the two conflict?Those people certainly want assistance rather than imperatives,
and the EDITOR/VISUAL checks have never prevented anyone from being explicit instead.
True, it's a philosophical thing, but the majority commented that they found it either confusing or even confounding. I favor things like that having one point of control which is an explicit imperative:
bindkey -vi
I tell the shell what I want. No guessing, no wondering, no conflicts. Personal thing of course, but I myself consider simplicity to be a very strong value. I'd even go as far as calling the EDITOR thing a bug. Complexity that adds power is one thing, but complexity that just adds lines of code while offering zero improvement in control is another. I'm probably a bit of an extremist in this tho.
