It's quite olde englishe. There's a song by Flanders and Swann to the tune
of the rondo to Mozart's fourth horn concerto with the words (to the slow,
minor key episode in the middle) `Lost that horn... Found that
horn... Gorn'.
The removeslash behaviour now works. I had a play round with menu
selection and found if you try and turn it off by setting the menu style,
it doesn't work because _main_complete doesn't unset MENUSELECT unless
explicitly told to. Is there any reason not to make that local in
_main_complete?
Further, setting the style to select=long does set MENUSELECT correctly,
but unless I've misunderstood doesn't seem to have the effect that menu
selection is only started for lists longer than a page.
The following simple function, zse (Z style edit) makes it easy to edit
styles on the fly; it's sort of zed-like. Any interest in including it?
Having argued for vared to behave as if you were editing the parameter
value, I now find I need to make it behave as if you had a full command
line, since you do. How do I do that with compcontext?
# Edit shell styles as `zstyle' command lines. Lines are evaluated as
# ordinary shell code. The altered styles are not saved.
#
# With arguments, edit the existing styles for any style names matching
# the patterns given (quote to protect from filename generation).
# With no arguments, edit all styles.
#
# Example:
# zse menu list-prompt
# allows you to edit any existing zstyle lines for the menu and list-prompt
# styles. Hit return to accept, ^G to abort.
#
# To do:
# persuade completion to do ordinary command-line completion inside vared;
# make zse arguments complete style names.
