Hmm. But the first tab doesn't give a list. It just fills in the letters that it can. In my example, should it not just fill the filename to "file1234" and stop? A second tab pulls up the list, and a third tab lets me pick. How is putting in a . that only works with the second filename anyway desired behavior? I think I might log an issue with the zsh bug tracker and see their take on it. I do like how if there are files with identical parts but different in the middle, zsh will fill it all in and then drop the cursor in the middle section. Though I can see how fish's completion (somewhat more like how GUI's do it) would be slick too. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
