How to remove the file extension in a zsh completion?
- by meeselet
I want to adjust zsh so that I can tab complete:
myprog <tab>
using all *.foo files in ~/somedir, but have it so that it displays them without the .foo extension.
Is there any way to do this?
This is what I have so far:
#compdef myprog
typeset -A opt_args
local context state line
local -a mydirs
mydirs="(. ~/somedir)"
_arguments -s -S \
"*:name:->foos" \
&& return 0
case $state in
(foos)
_files -W ${mydirs} -g '*.foo(:r)' && return 0
;;
esac
return 1
However, this displays double the output for every file (that is, each .foo file is listed with and without its extension). Is there any way around this?
