zsh compctl
#tags shell


Got bored after doing some homework tonight and added a few more
completions to my zsh config. The top two are yanked from petef's zshrc

<pre>
compctl -g '/u9/psionic/Mail/*(/:t)' -P '+' folder
compctl -g '/var/db/pkg/*(/:t)' pkg_delete pkg_info
compctl -g "/tmp/screens/S-${USER}/*(p:t)" screen
compctl -g "*(-/D)" + -g "*.class(.:r)" java
</pre>

What do they do? (Listed in order)
<ul>
<li> for the program 'folder' complete to any directory in /u9/psionic/Mail/ and drop the path above it (like basename(1)). Also prefix it with a '+' character.
