RE: Zsh observations

Hello Andrej,

Apply this patch and do it :-) It was lost when gcc stopped setting _WIN32
by default.

Note, that it will make completion list executables twice - as foo and
foo.exe. With new completion you may want to set something like

zstyle ':completion::complete:-command-:*' ignored-patterns
'*.(#i)(exe|dll)'

to prevent *.exe and *.dll from appearing in the list (given, that every
foo.exe is already hashed as foo, it is O.K.; and dll is not executable
anyway - or is it?)


This works very nicely, with one exception.
If I'm trying to complete an executable in the current directory, e.g.
        % setu<TAB>
it will give me neither "setup", nor "setup.exe". This is logical, because the special .exe handling is only for the PATH hash. 

Would you know a workaround for that?

Thanks,

 - Michael
(Wouldn't it be nice if Cygwin did this foo.exe -> foo handling automagically for us?)
